According to UPSA, qualified applicants who have been offered admission will receive notifications through SMS.

However, candidates who do not receive text messages have been advised not to panic, as they can still check their admission status online using their Online Serial Number (OSN), which is the 15-digit alphanumeric number on their e-voucher.

Applicants can access their admission status by visiting the UPSA admission portal, entering their OSN, and downloading their admission letter together with the Fresh Students’ Guidelines.

Application deadline and how to apply

The university also announced that applications for the 2026/2027 academic year are still open for prospective students who have not yet applied.

Interested candidates can purchase e-vouchers from designated outlets, including Access Bank, Ecobank, GCB Bank, and Ghana Post offices.

Applicants can also apply through the USSD code *887*9# on all mobile networks or the Interpay shortcode *789*8772#.
