UG LEGON: MANAGEMENT GRANTS CLEMENCY TO UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS WHO ARE YET TO GRADUATE

 

Students of the University Of Ghana from the 2000/2001 academic year, woke up to good news from the Academic Affairs Directorate of the University Of Ghana in a letter dated 22nd of September 2020. 

According to the notice which was signed by Mrs. Christy Badu, the Acting Director of Academic Affairs of the university, the Business and Executive Committee approved general clemency to students who have failed to graduate from the University of Ghana for one reason or the other.

Mrs. Christy Badu made it clear that this dispensation is an opportunity for all affected students to satisfy the necessary requirements to enable them to graduate. She continued that, this clemency will be for failed courses beginning from the 2000/2001 academic year, and the roll-out of this clemency will be for a period of three years that is, from 2021/2022 to the 2023/2024 academic years. 

Affected students will have a maximum of two years from their first registration to re-sit and pass as many courses as they may choose, she explained. This decision was taken by the Affairs Directorate of the University Of Ghana, in a way that will help students who could not graduate from the university due to certain reasons such as lack of financial support, inability to make good grades in certain aspects of their courses, to also graduate. 

Again, these affected students also stand a chance of gaining more knowledge in different courses, as the University is granting them a maximum of two years from their first registration to re-sit and pass as many courses as they may choose.

With this, the University encourages students to register and re-sit the failed courses in order to graduate.
