Admission cut-off points are determined by two factors: quotas for admission and performance of applicants in the WASSCE of that year.

In addition to the three regular courses for the humanities, Level 100 students are expected to register for one of the University Required Courses (UGRCs) in each semester in Level 100 and L 200 respectively. A Level 100 student shall also register for Humanities and Education Required Course (HERC). which are taken over two semesters. If a student is unable to register for any of the University of Ghana Required Courses in the first semester, he can do so in the second semester or even at higher levels.

To register online, the university must first open the system for online registration, the student must pay his/her fees (both residential and academic) and wait for at most 48 working hours before logging on to the university’s website to register.

UGRCs registration is done differently from the regular course registration. A UGRC portal is usually opened in the second week of the semester. Eligible students can click on the portal and follow the necessary steps to register. Students in higher levels should however print their academic records, write the correct course code of the UGRC on it and submit it at the UGRC Coordinator’s office. University of Ghana Required Courses (UGRCs): 3 credits per semester In the first semester, Level 100 students must enroll in any of the following University required courses: UGRC 110 Academic Writing I – 3 credits UGRC 150 Critical Thinking and Practical Reasoning – 3 credits (In the second semester another UGRC must be taken)

In each semester L 100 students must enroll in any of their bouquet-based prescribed Humanities and Education Required Courses (3 – 4 credits per semester). In most cases, students can select a HERC to take from 4-6 courses listed on their registration page after login on: https://sts.ug.edu.gh Courses offered as HERC, including French Language, normally carry three (3) credits per semester. All the other foreign language courses carry only 2 credits per course. As such, a student who wishes to select a foreign language HERC must take 2 conjoined foreign language courses from the list. Such a student will therefore earn four credits of HERC for the semester. Apart from French, Foreign language courses are only available in the first semester. (In the second semester another HERC must be selected from the same list as presented in the first semester).

A maximum of 17 credit hours is required by students offering B.A., BSc Administration, and LLB students. Students offering B.F.A can take up to a maximum of 21 credit hours (Refer to page 42 of Regulations for Junior Members, Vol. 1; September 2016)

The process of Adding or Dropping courses is now part of mainstream registration. It can therefore be done when the system is opened for registration. A student after registering his courses can add more courses by logging onto his MIS web page and clicking on “Add subjects to a registration” and follow the steps to add. For deletion, you can also click on “cancel a subject” after logging onto your MIS web page and follow the steps. Note however that you cannot re-register a course that you have dropped. So make sure that you do not have to register a course before you drop it.

Print the appropriate re-sit form on the university’s website and fill it. Send it to the department where you are re-sitting the course for the HOD to endorse. Then make the appropriate payment at the cash office of the University and submit your form at the Academic Affairs Office of the College after payment. Failure to submit this form for registration means that you have not registered even though you have paid (payment for re-sit is not the same as registering for a re-sit). Failure to register means that you cannot be issued with a provisional ID card for the examination. You will therefore not be allowed to write the examination.

Students in the college who belong to the new grading system are only allowed by the regulations to re-sit courses that they have scored grades ‘E’ and ‘F’. Students do not have the option to re-sit any course that they have scored a better grade than these two grades in.

A grade X is awarded to a student who is unable to complete a course for reasons adjudged by the Board of Examiners as unsatisfactory. It is a failed grade. (Refer to page 47 of Regulations for Junior Members, Vol. 1; September 2016).

The University has provided for four semesters or two academic years to students to redeem all resit papers. After this period, such persons are no longer eligible to take resit examinations.

The University has scheduled a time period for Supplementary examinations. Students have the opportunity to re-sit first semester papers at the end of the 2nd semester regular examination period, and second-semester re-sit papers at the end of the 1st semester regular examination period.

Students who are unable to take their exams on the basis of ill health should bring this to the attention of the Director of Academic Affairs.

Examination timetables are displayed on all notice boards as well as the University’s website.
