Some students of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) have reportedly been ejected from class for dressing inappropriately.

According to a narration in a TikTok video, the students claimed they were asked to leave the lecture hall by a lecturer for violating the university's dress code policy.

Per the UCC's formal dress code, students are expected to wear a shirt and pants that are neatly tucked in, with or without a tie.

However, this particular group of students deliberately or unintentionally flouted the rules, prompting swift action from the lecturer.
