The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has announced the approved fee schedule for the University of Ghana for the 2025/2026 academic year, in a move aimed at addressing concerns and ensuring clarity over the university’s charges.

In a statement issued on Monday, January 12, and signed by Director-General Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, GTEC disclosed that the Academic Facility User Fee will remain unchanged from the 2024/2025 academic year, meaning students will not face an increase in that component.

The Commission outlined other approved charges, including GH₵50 for Student Representative Council (SRC) dues, a GH₵150 SRC Development Levy, and a GH₵250 Graduate Students Association of Ghana (GRASAG) Development Levy. Undergraduate students, including freshmen, will also pay a Telecel Broadband Levy of GH₵122.

Additionally, GTEC announced the introduction of a one-off 75th Anniversary Levy of GH₵100, which will apply only during the 2025/2026 academic year and will not be carried forward into subsequent years.

GTEC emphasised the need for students to be adequately informed about their rights, noting that some levies may be optional and students should be made aware of any opt-out provisions where applicable.

According to the Commission, the publication of the approved fees is intended to promote transparency and ensure compliance within the University of Ghana.

“This announcement is meant to resolve concerns regarding the 2025/2026 fee structure of the University of Ghana. We expect the continued cooperation of all stakeholders to ensure smooth implementation,” the statement concluded.
