ACCRA, Ghana — 23 October 2026. University of Ghana undergraduates whose cumulative grade point average remains below 1.00 after all their 2025/2026 registered-course grades have been released must withdraw from their programmes, according to an Academic Affairs Directorate notice reported on 23 October.

The notice reproduced by 3News directs affected students to check MIS Web and use the university’s withdrawal procedure. It also identifies college offices and counselling support for students needing help.

Check the complete record first

The notice makes the release of all registered-course grades part of the test. A student looking at an incomplete record should identify the missing courses and ask the college how that affects the determination of academic standing.

As practical preparation, save a copy of the results currently displayed and list any missing or disputed entries by course code. That gives the academic office a specific issue to investigate. Keep your student number and programme details ready, but do not share your PIN with anyone offering informal assistance.

A single course result and an overall CGPA answer different questions. The university’s 2017 Regulations for Junior Members, section 9.20, describes CGPA as cumulative grade points divided by registered-course credits. Use the university record and ask about discrepancies rather than relying on an unofficial calculation.

What the progression rule requires

Section 9.26, on page 46 of the regulations, requires a CGPA of at least 1.00 alongside the relevant school or departmental requirements. It excludes probation and provides for the Registrar to ask students who do not qualify to progress to withdraw.

The distinction matters at the threshold. A CGPA of exactly 1.00 is not below 1.00, but meeting that numerical minimum does not remove the separate programme conditions. Ask your academic office which requirements apply to your course and level.
