2022/2023 AUCC students ‘shall be eligible’ for certificates under University of Ghana seal – UG clarifies
The Level 400 students of the 2022/2023 admission cohort of the African University of Communication and Business (AUCB), formerly the African University College of Communications (AUCC), have welcomed a response from the University of Ghana regarding their petition over the processing of their degree certificates.

In a clarification regarding the processing of degree certificates for 2022/2023 admission cohort students of the African University of Communication and Business (AUCB), the University of Ghana has reaffirmed its stance. Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Gordon A. Awandare, stated that the students admitted under the affiliation arrangement "remain students governed by the terms and conditions of that arrangement for the duration of their programme."
The University further clarified that students meeting all academic requirements during the 2022/2023 academic year "shall be eligible for the award of certificates issued under the seal of the University of Ghana." This response bolsters the position of the affected students who argue they are entitled to University of Ghana certificates, not AUCB degrees, upon successful completion of their programmes.
The students maintain that this matter is about the preservation of their academic rights and the fulfillment of contractual obligations. They reject comments by AUCB Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Isaac Abeku Blankson, suggesting that obtaining University of Ghana certificates could take years, urging them to accept AUCB degrees instead.
The students insist their demand is not for a special privilege but for the adherence to commitments made during their academic journey. They urge their peers to remain composed, vigilant, and unified as they await further communication from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).
