After Graduation

 

Return of Academic Gowns

Graduates are required to promptly return the rented academic gowns to designated collection points 24 hours after their ceremonies. You will be charged a penalty of GhC250.00 if you fail to return your gown within 24 hours after your session. Subsequently, you will be charged GhC50.00 per week in addition to the initial penalty.

 

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 academic gowns will be the same points for their return (except UGBS Masters graduates who will return their gowns at the auditorium of the UGBS main campus), and the collection of certificates till 25th March 2026.

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.

Non-registered Graduates have to book an appointment on the STS portal to collect their certificates from 30th March 2026 - 31st August 2026 (No penalty).

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 deadline of 31st March 2026, graduates will be required to pay a penalty equivalent to the prevailing University of Ghana graduation fee for certificate collection.

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