At the University of Cape Coast (UCC) matriculation ceremony, Vice-Chancellor Professor Denis Worlanyo Aheto cautioned students against taking part in unauthorized processions on campus. He emphasized that such activities could lead to serious safety risks, with previous instances resulting in injuries and fatalities. The ceremony saw the admission of 17,807 students, consisting of 14,935 regular students for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year and 2,872 sandwich students from the 2025/2026 academic year.
Of the regular students, 13,824 were undergraduates and 1,110 were postgraduates, while the sandwich program had 2,419 postgraduates and 453 undergraduates. Prof. Aheto reiterated that the university would not tolerate unauthorized processions and would impose strict disciplinary actions on any student involved, which could range from arrest to dismissal or fines.
He also announced the university's commitment to improving student accommodation by constructing two large facilities - a 28,000-bed project costing US$500 million and an additional 10,000-bed project estimated at US$76 million. These new accommodations would provide a conducive environment for students to focus on their studies and social life.
