Following the authorization, the university has set 7th December 2020 as the opening date.
The Chancellor of the University of Kigali, Prof Tombola M. Gustave welcomed the authorization and expressed readiness to start courses.

The management of the University of Kigali has called on students from first and second year or interested new comers to visit the university on Monday 7th December 2020 to fill requirements before resuming courses.
