University of Ghana Orders Students With CGPA Below 1.00 to Withdraw

The University of Ghana has directed undergraduate students whose Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) falls below 1.00 at the end of the 2025/2026 academic year to withdraw from their programmes.

According to GraphicOnline, the directive was announced in a public notice issued by the university’s Academic Affairs Directorate, citing Section 9.26 of the University Regulations for Junior Members (2017).

The regulation requires students to maintain a minimum CGPA of 1.00 and satisfy their respective school or departmental requirements to progress to the next academic level. It also states that students who fail to meet the academic threshold are not eligible for probation.

The university said the withdrawal requirement would apply after all grades for courses registered during the academic year had been received.

“Accordingly, students whose CGPAs fall below 1.00 upon receipt of all grades for their registered courses at the end of the 2025/2026 Academic Year are not in good academic standing and are required to withdraw from their programmes of study,” the notice stated.

Affected students have been instructed to check their academic results through the university’s Management Information System Web. They are then required to log in to the Student and Academic Services Portal using their student identification numbers and PINs and select the “Withdrawal Request” option.

The university also explained that the relevant schools or departments would initiate the withdrawal process on behalf of students in certain programmes. Students who need further clarification have been advised to contact their respective College Academic Offices.

In addition, the university’s Careers and Counselling Directorate is available to provide affected students with guidance and support. The directive follows the academic progression rules outlined in the university’s regulations for the 2025/2026 academic year.
