University of Ghana orders withdrawal of students with CGPA below 1.00

The University of Ghana has instructed 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 programs. This directive was issued by the Academic Affairs Directorate in a public notice, in compliance with Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017).

The regulation stipulates that students must attain a minimum CGPA of 1.00 and fulfill their school or departmental requirements to advance to the subsequent academic level. Notably, there is no probationary period for students failing to meet this criterion. The notice elaborated, "Consequently, students whose CGPA falls 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."

Students are directed to verify their CGPAs via the university's Management Information System (MIS) web portal, utilizing their student identification numbers and Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to navigate to the "Withdrawal Request" option through the Student and Academic Services Portal. Certain schools or departments will facilitate the withdrawal process on behalf of students in specific programs.

Those seeking further clarification are encouraged to reach out to their respective College Academic Offices. The university's Careers and Counselling Directorate is also poised to offer support and guidance.
