What has Mekelle University announced?
Tikvah University reported on Tikimt 5, 2019 E.C. (15 October 2026) that Mekelle University has opened online registration for first-year students it has placed for the 2019 E.C. academic year. According to the post, students can register from where they are, starting on Friday, Tikimt 6, 2019 E.C. (16 October 2026), through the university's portal at https://portal.mu.edu.et.
The university has said that the date students must go to campus will be announced later. The post does not give a time of day when registration opens or closes, and it does not list the documents students need to upload.
Which students does this affect?
The notice is for students who have been placed at Mekelle University in its first year for the 2019 E.C. academic year. Students placed at other institutions, and students already studying at the university in later years, are not named in the post.
The university's portal also carries a separate notice for the 2026/2027 academic year. It invites applications for PhD, master's, specialty and evening first-degree programmes, and accepts applications until Meskerem 15, 2019 E.C. (25 September 2026). That notice does not mention the first-year registration Tikvah University reported, so the two should not be read as one process.
When does registration open, and what is still missing?
| Event | Date in both calendars |
|---|---|
| Online registration opens | Tikimt 6, 2019 E.C. (16 October 2026) |
| Reporting to the university | Not yet announced |
| Opening and closing time | Not announced |
Because registration is online, the notice names no place to go on the opening day. The post also gives no closing date for online registration, which has not been announced.
What should first-year students do now?
Confirm your placement
Before you start the online form, check that Mekelle University is the institution where you were placed for the first year of the 2019 E.C. academic year.
Be ready from Friday
From Tikimt 6, 2019 E.C. (16 October 2026), open https://portal.mu.edu.et and register online from where you are.
Wait for the reporting date
The post says the date to go to campus will be announced later, so follow the university's own channels for it.
Why is registration online this year?
The post does not give a reason for online registration, and it does not say how many first-year students the university has placed. It also does not say whether earlier intakes registered in the same way.
What the post does set out is the order of steps: online registration first, then going to campus on a date that has not been announced.
