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

The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Monday, January 12, and signed by the Director-General, Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai.

According to the Commission, the Academic Facility User Fee will remain unchanged from the 2024/2025 academic year, meaning students will not face any increase under that category. GTEC said the decision was intended to ease financial pressure on students while promoting consistency in fee administration.

The approved fees include SRC dues of GH₵50, an SRC Development Levy of GH₵150, and a Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG) Development Levy of GH₵250.

In addition, undergraduate students, including freshmen, will pay a Telecel Broadband Levy of GH₵122.

GTEC also approved a one-off 75th Anniversary Levy of GH₵100, which will apply only to the 2025/2026 academic year and will not be continued thereafter.

The Commission further noted that students should be adequately informed of their rights, including the option to opt out of certain levies where applicable.

“This announcement seeks to resolve issues surrounding the 2025/2026 fee schedule for the University of Ghana. We are counting on the usual cooperation of all stakeholders to implement it effectively,” the statement said, adding that the move forms part of efforts to promote transparency and compliance within the tertiary education sector.
