Management of the University of Ghana, Legon, has increased its academic fees for the 2022-2023 academic year by 14 per cent.
This follows the passage of the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2022 (Act 1080) by Parliament of Ghana.
In a statement from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) dated December 16, 2022, this allows a 15% increase across board for all institutions covered by the Act.
“Please be advised therefore that Fees and Charges applicable in all Public Tertiary Education Institutions for the 2022/2023 Academic Year may be adjusted by up to maximum of 15% of the last approved rates,” the statement added.
Fresh students (Undergraduate Regular students) at the College of Humanities (Bachelor of Arts) were initially to pay GHS1,813.00, while those who studied Administration/ Law pay GH1,914.00.
Following the adjustment, they will now pay GHS2,069.00 and GH2,185.00 respectively.
Those in level 200, 300 and 400 studying Bachelor of Arts and Administration/ Law under the College of Humanities were to pay GHS1,340.00 and GHS1,441.00.
