University of Ghana Announces Major Update on 2026/2027 Registration and Accommodation

Management apologises to students over registration delays, announces plans for academic registration and randomised hostel allocation

The management of the University of Ghana has issued an important notice to Level 100 and continuing students concerning registration for the 2026/2027 academic year, following challenges affecting the online registration process.

According to the university, the ongoing difficulties with online registration for the First Semester are linked to the ongoing industrial action by University Administrators.

Management has apologised to students and assured them that arrangements are underway to make the registration portal available.

Registration portal to be made available

The university says students should remain patient as steps are being taken to restore access to the portal and allow eligible students to complete their academic registration.

The notice, signed by Professor Gordon A. Awandare, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Academic and Student Affairs, also addresses accommodation arrangements for the new academic year.

University announces randomised bed allocation

In another key development, the University of Ghana says arrangements are being made to enable eligible students to secure campus accommodation through a Randomised Bed Allocation Exercise.

Students who wish to be considered for university accommodation will have to complete three key requirements:

Express interest in university accommodation using the link sent to them by the university.
Pay at least 50% of their total fees due for the academic year.
Complete their academic registration once the registration portal is opened.

The university says the date and other details for the Randomised Bed Allocation Exercise will be announced later through its official communication channels.

Students warned about accommodation scammers

The University of Ghana has also issued a strong warning to students and parents to be cautious of individuals claiming to be university officials and offering accommodation in exchange for money.

Management stressed that university accommodation can only be secured through the official online allocation process.

The university further reminded students that all fees must be paid into designated university bank accounts.

It warned that the university does not collect fees through personal bank accounts or mobile money accounts.

Students and parents have therefore been urged to be vigilant and avoid dealing with individuals who demand payments through unofficial channels.

Management appeals for patience

The university says it appreciates the patience and understanding of students and parents as it works towards opening the portals for both academic and residential registration.

For now, students are expected to monitor the university’s official communication channels for further announcements regarding the registration portal and the Randomised Bed Allocation Exercise.
