In a notice issued by the school, fresh undergraduate students were directed to participate by opting into the system after completing their academic registration.
Students seeking accommodation are advised to finalise their academic registration by Friday, January 17, 2025.

The University emphasised its zero-tolerance policy towards illegal practices involving accommodation in the notice.
It singled out perching, which is a form of unauthorised stay on campus.

WAEC releases 2024 WASSCE results
YEN.com.gh reported that the West African Examinations Council released the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination results on December 30 after a delay caused by government debts.
Examination cheating led to the cancellation of the subject results of 4,108 candidates.
The West African Senior School Certificate Examination results were supposed to be released between December 9, 2024, and December 15, 2024. This delayed admissions to public universities.
The University of Ghana and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology closed admissions on January 3.
