The University of Ghana has directed undergraduate students whose Cumulative Grade Point Average falls below 1.00 at the end of the 2025/2026 academic year to withdraw from their programmes.
According to GraphicOnline on Friday, the university announced the directive in a public notice issued by its Academic Affairs Directorate, citing Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017).
The regulation states that students must attain a CGPA of at least 1.00 and meet their school or departmental requirements to progress to the next academic level.
It also stipulates that there is no probation for students who fail to meet the requirement.
The notice said, “Accordingly, students whose CGPAs fall below 1.00 upon receipt of all grades for their registered courses at the end of the 2025/2026 Academic Year are not in good academic standing and are required to withdraw from their programmes of study.”
Affected students have been instructed to check their CGPAs on the university’s Management Information System Web and log in to the Student and Academic Services Portal using their student identification numbers and PINs to select the “Withdrawal Request” option.
The university said the relevant schools or departments would initiate the withdrawal process on behalf of students in certain programmes.
Students seeking clarification have been advised to contact their respective College Academic Offices. The university’s Careers and Counselling Directorate is also available to provide support and guidance.
