University of Ghana to sack students with CGPA below 1.00
The University of Ghana is set to sack undergraduates who fail to attain the required minimum CGPA of 1.00.
This stern regulation by the university is aimed at playing a pivotal role in the maintenance of high academic standards and the progression of the school.
In a student notice released on 6th October 2023, the Academic Affairs Directorate wrote, “With reference to Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017), on receipt of grades for all registered courses for an academic year, undergraduate students who do not achieve the stipulated minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for progression to the next level of study should be withdrawn from the university. Presently, the minimum CGPA prescribed for the above-listed colleges is 1.00.”
This announcement carries significant implications for current level 200 and level 300 students who have just completed the 2022/2023 academic year. They are urgently advised to assess their academic performance through the online provisional transcript.
The statement continued: “In this respect, current level 200 and level 300 students are hereby directed to review their academic performance from their online provisional transcript in their MISWeb.
Students who have received examination results for all 2022/2023 registered courses and obtained a CGPA below the approved minimum for their college should expect official withdrawal letters from the university via their official email addresses soon. “
Additionally, “for those who have already remitted their tuition fees for the 2023/2024 academic year, please be assured that a refund will be processed upon request”.
