University of Ghana mandates withdrawal for low CGPA students

The University of Ghana has issued a directive requiring undergraduate students whose Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is below 1.00 to withdraw from their programs at the conclusion of the 2025/2026 academic year. This decision was communicated through a public notice from the university’s Academic Affairs Directorate.

The directive references Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017), which stipulates that students must maintain a minimum CGPA of 1.00 and fulfill their school or departmental requirements to advance academically. Students who do not meet these academic standards are ineligible for probation.

The notice specifies that affected students should verify their CGPAs via the Management Information System Web and the Student and Academic Services Portal using their student identification numbers and PINs. Students are instructed to select the “Withdrawal Request” option to initiate the withdrawal process.

Additionally, the university's relevant schools or departments will handle the withdrawal for students in specific programs. For further assistance, students can contact their College Academic Offices or the Careers and Counselling Directorate.
