After completing the diploma, students may proceed to top-up and earn their degree from UPSA. The institution stated:
“Applicants who obtained a grade of D7 in any core subject should return to step 3 of their online application form to change the chosen degree programme to the desired diploma programme.”
This renewed reminder comes at a time when WAEC has released the 2025 WASSCE results, with several reports highlighting a nationwide drop in performance.
