The General Public is hereby informed that the University of Ghana has further extended the General Amnesty Programme for an additional two (2) years to enable eligible former undergraduate students whose studentships (period of allowable study) have elapsed to complete outstanding or failed course requirements and graduate. The extension covers the 2026/2027 and 2027/2028 academic years only. Eligible students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity before the programme ends.

Eligibility
Applicants must be undergraduate students of the University of Ghana (UG) who progressed to the final semester of the final year of their programme of study and were expected to graduate between the 2000/2001 and 2021/2022 academic years, but were unable to do so because their studentships expired before they could complete all outstanding or failed course requirements.
