University Of Ghana Orders Withdrawal Of Students With CGPA Below 1.00

The University of Ghana has directed undergraduate students whose Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) falls below 1.00 at the end of the 2025/2026 academic year to withdraw from their programmes.

According to GraphicOnline on Friday, the directive was contained in a public notice issued by the university’s Academic Affairs Directorate.

The university cited Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017), which requires students to maintain a minimum CGPA of 1.00 and meet their respective school or departmental requirements to progress to the next academic level.

The regulation also states that students who fail to meet the academic requirements are not eligible for probation.

The notice stated, “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.”

The university directed affected students to check their CGPAs through its Management Information System Web and access the Student and Academic Services Portal using their student identification numbers and PINs.

Students are required to select the “Withdrawal Request” option on the portal to begin the process.

However, the university noted that the relevant schools or departments would initiate the withdrawal process on behalf of students enrolled in certain programmes.

It advised students seeking further clarification to contact their respective College Academic Offices.

The university’s Careers and Counselling Directorate is also available to provide support and guidance to affected students.
