The University of Ghana, UG is set to withdraw continuing students with CGPA below 1.00. The University plans to implement this policy in the 2023/2024 academic year. Students with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) below 1.00 would be sent out of the school. This applies to students in all Colleges of the University.
This conclusion matches with Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017). This mandates the withdrawal of undergraduate students falling below the minimum CGPA.
The Academic Affairs Directorate of the University of Ghana has notified current level 200 and level 300 students who have received their 2022/2023 examination results and fall short of the approved minimum CGPA for their college that they will receive withdrawal notices via their Official UG email soon.
As well, students who have already paid their tuition fees for the 2023/2024 academic year will have the option to request a refund.
The institution will ensure aid to students with questions through the relevant College Academic Affairs Office. A separate notice specifically designed of the College of Health Sciences will be issued in the future.
Many students, particularly the ones who are struggling academically, have been struck by this announcement.
