Privacy policy
What we collect when you use this website, and why.
Who we are
This website is run by Somali National University, Shabelle Campus, Via Uganda (Columbia Road), Hamar Weyne, Mogadishu, Somalia. Questions about this policy: jus@snu.edu.so.
Information you send us
We only collect personal information when you choose to send it through one of our forms:
- Contact form: your name, email address, phone number (optional), subject and message.
- Admission enquiries: the same, and the programme you are interested in.
- Certificate verification requests: the certificate number, the graduate's name and year, your email address and your message.
- Media enquiries: your organisation, name, email address, phone number, subject and message.
Messages go to the university office that answers them. We use them to reply to you, to deal with your request and to keep a record of it. We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.
Verify a graduate
When you check a certificate on the Verify a graduate page, the details you enter are used only to look up the record. To prevent misuse, the number of checks from one visitor is limited.
Cookies and technical information
We use only the cookies the website needs to work: a session cookie and a security token that protect our forms. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not use analytics or tracking services.
Like every website, our server receives your internet address and the type of browser you use when it sends you a page. We use this to deliver the website and to protect it from misuse.
Who can see your information
University staff who answer messages and the people who maintain the website. We share information outside the university only when the law requires it, or when you ask us to (for example, to confirm a graduate's certificate to the employer who asked).
How long we keep it
We keep messages for as long as we need them to deal with your request and for the university's records, then delete them.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it: email jus@snu.edu.so, call +252 61 749 4202, or use the contact form.
Other websites
Links to other websites, such as our social media pages and the student and staff portals, are covered by those websites' own privacy policies.
Last updated 10 November 2026. If we change this policy, the new version will appear on this page.
