University Of Ghana Online Registration Procedures

Step 1: Payment Of Fees

The first thing you need to do when you get your admission letter is to pay the fees to secure your slot in the university. You need to pay the required minimum fee before you can do your academic and residential registrations.

All students (Main Campus/Accra City Campus/Distance Education/Korle-Bu) are to pay their Academic Fees and, where applicable, Residential Fees at any branch of Standard Chartered Bank or ECOBANK with cash only. 

Ensure that you quote your Student ID Number correctly on all the pay-in-slips (using a Fee Paying Voucher). Ensure that the information captured by the teller is accurate before leaving the banking hall.

Please note that online registration can only be done 48hours after payment has been made. Click to view the Schedule of Fees.
