University of Ghana has publicly refuted a misleading rumour claiming that students in the Department of Computer Science are required to purchase Apple devices for their studies.
This unfounded assertion suggested that acquiring Apple products was necessary for academic completion.
In an official statement, the University firmly denied these allegations, clarifying that there is no mandate for any students to acquire specific Apple devices for their courses.
The administration urged students, parents, and guardians to ignore this misinformation.
The University emphasised its dedication to offering a technology-driven and inclusive educational environment, ensuring that students are not at a disadvantage based on the devices they opt to use.
Additionally, the management reassured all stakeholders that its academic procedures are transparent and uphold the institution’s core principles.
The confusion appears to have originated from a fabricated message alleging that performance issues within the Department of Computer Science were linked to non-Apple devices.
This false claim implied that students using Android devices were experiencing software compatibility issues that negatively impacted their academic performance.
It further stated that Apple devices were essential for better outcomes and suggested students invest in iPhones and laptops with specific features.
University urged everyone to confirm future information through official sources and to be cautious of falling for such misleading narratives.
