University of Ghana orders withdrawal of students with CGPA below 1.00

The University of Ghana has mandated undergraduate students with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) below 1.00 at the conclusion of the 2025/2026 academic year to withdraw from their respective programs. This decision, announced in a public notice by the Academic Affairs Directorate, aligns with Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017).

The regulation stipulates that students must achieve a CGPA of at least 1.00 and fulfill their school or departmental requirements to advance to the subsequent academic term. Importantly, the notice clarifies that there is no probation period for students who fail to meet this academic threshold. Consequently, any student whose CGPA falls under the 1.00 mark at the end of the academic year will be deemed to be out of good academic standing and must withdraw from their program.

The affected students are directed to verify their CGPAs via the university’s Management Information System Web portal and the Student and Academic Services Portal, employing their student identification numbers and Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to navigate to the “Withdrawal Request” option. Institutions are responsible for initiating the withdrawal process on behalf of students in certain programs.

Students seeking further clarification are encouraged to reach out to their specific College Academic Offices. Additionally, the Careers and Counselling Directorate of the university is at the disposal of affected students to offer support and guidance during this process.
