"I want to say that we rolled out the self-placement service over the weekend, and for that, you get your admission letter the moment you log in and select a program. You get the admission letter."
Quizzed by the interviewer on how long it will take to process an applicant who qualifies for admission, for instance, to the Accra City Campus, Mawuena Abortta also responded, saying,

Self-placement is just an offer
Shedding more light on the admissions, Mawuena Abortta stated that the self-placement service was designed for applicants who qualify for admission to the university but could not get into the preferred programmes they chose.
"After our first round, we go through all the applications and check to see that this person qualifies for these other programs we are making available to select. Sometimes we offer, but I said it’s an offer, and you’re not obliged to take it up."
The self-placement service for the 2025/2026 admission cycle for the University of Ghana was announced on December 12, urging students in need of assistance to visit the Admissions Desk at the University of Ghana.
The video had generated over 1,000 likes and 12 comments at the time of writing the report.
