Attention all University of Ghana students: Your academic journey for the 2025/2026 year is about to kick off earlier than expected! Mark your calendars because undergraduate course registration for the first semester begins this Monday, December 15, 2025. But here's where it gets crucial: registering early isn't just a suggestion—it's your best shot at securing the courses you really want. And this is the part most people miss: while the registration period has shifted, the deadlines remain the same, so procrastination could cost you.
The academic calendar, packed with all the dates you need, is just a click away at https://www.ug.edu.gh/academics/calendar. Need help? Director of Academic Affairs, Lydia Anowa Nyako-Danquah, encourages you to reach out. For academic queries, your College Academic Office is the go-to, while financial concerns should be directed to the Students Accounts Office.
Here’s another key detail: random bed allocation is tentatively set for December 29, 2025, for continuing students, and January 12, 2026, for Level 100 students. But there’s a catch: only those who register on time can participate. This raises a thought-provoking question: Is the university’s early registration push fair to students who may face unforeseen delays? Or is it a necessary measure to ensure a smooth start to the academic year?
The Academic Affairs Directorate has expressed gratitude for student cooperation, but the real question is: How will this earlier start impact your preparation? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—do you think this change is a step forward, or does it add unnecessary pressure? The conversation starts here!
