UG Congregation - What to do after the Congregation

Return of Academic Gowns

Graduates are required to promptly return the rented academic gowns to designated collection points same day after the ceremony to collect their certificates. The deadline for the return of academic gowns is however 4.00 pm on Friday, February 9, 2024.

Failure to meet this deadline will incur a weekly penalty. Late submissions should be made at Room D7, Academic Affairs Directorate, where the penalty will be determined.

Upon returning the complete gown set (including hood, gown, and cap) and presenting a Student Identification Card or a valid picture ID, graduates will receive their Academic Certificates.

 

Collection of Certificates

Graduands who registered for Congregation are required to present their UG student identification card (or UG provisional ID), sign, and personally collect their certificates. The collection points for certificates are determined by the respective Colleges.

Non-registered Graduands have the option to pay at the cash office after a specified date to retrieve their certificates.

Certificates can be collected from the respective Schools within two weeks following the congregation ceremony. Subsequently, collection can be carried out at the Students Services and Records Unit in Room D8 of the Academic Affairs Directorate, and it must be done in person.

Graduates have a grace period of exactly six (6) months from the date of their congregation ceremony to collect their Academic Certificates without incurring any additional charges. After this six-month period, graduates will be required to pay a penalty equivalent to the prevailing University of Ghana graduation fee for certificate collection.

Please be aware that the Academic Certificate is irreplaceable. It is advisable to make copies and store the original in a secure location.
