The Botswana Open University (BOU) congratulates you on your achievement. Please note that where the word “graduand” is used
it refers to you, the student who is about to receive a qualification award of the University, whereas “graduate” refers to a person who has
already been awarded a qualification. This booklet contains important information that is designed to make your day as flawless
as possible. Make every effort to read and understand the contents. Should you have queries regarding the graduation, please contact your respective Regional Campus, the contacts of which are given here.
As you are aware, the Covid -19 or Corona pandemic has affected the way we conduct business in a number of ways. In an endeavour to conform to health protocols and contain the spread of the virus, we have shifted to online/ virtual means of providing services to our various clients.
Therefore, the 2020 graduation ceremony will be no exception as it will be held virtually. It is emphasized that although the event will be held virtually, it will, as much as possible follow the necessary graduation protocols. In order to attend the graduation ceremony virtually, you
will need to have access to internet connectivity. The University will provide you with a link to attend the event
online. There will also be limited physical attendance at the different Regional Campuses, the details of which will be provided by your respective Regional Campus
The University would like to plan for the ceremony at which you will be awarded your qualification. NOTE that having passed all your courses does not automatically invite you to the Graduation Ceremony especially this
year where there are restrictions on gatherings. A small number may gather at the Regional Campus where criteria for admission will be determined by the respective Regional Campuses. This must be noted very well because Covid -19 restrictions and protocols will strictly apply.
