The University of Ghana has extended the Admission and the closing date for Graduate Programmes for the 2022/2023 academic year. This was contained in a letter sighted by Ghanaeducation.org.
In the letter captioned Re: Closure of Graduate Programme Application and Online Recommendation of Selected Applicants, the university said:
This comes to inform academic units that the application system for graduate programmes has been closed in keeping the deadline of Friday, September 16, 2022, set in our letter of August 9, 2022.
However, because of the late opening of the application system and the view of the January start date for the 2022/2023 academic calendar, the SGS management has decided to grant an extension for specific academic units/programmes which need more time to meet their required application numbers. Such requests should be in writing to the SGS.
