The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has released the approved fees for the University of Ghana for the 2025/2026 academic year, aiming to clarify the institution’s fee structure and address concerns from students.
In a statement issued on Monday, January 12, 2026, and signed by Director General Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, GTEC confirmed that the Academic Facility User Fee will remain unchanged from the 2024/2025 rate, meaning no increase for students.
Other fees outlined for the year include:
Student Representative Council (SRC) dues: GH₵50
SRC Development Levy: GH₵150
Graduate Students (GRASAG) Development Levy: GH₵250
Telecel Broadband Levy: GH₵122, applicable to all undergraduate students, including freshmen
In addition, a 75th Anniversary Levy of GH₵100 will be charged only for the 2025/2026 academic year, with no expectation for continuation in future years.
GTEC emphasized the importance of student awareness, including their right to opt out of specific levies where applicable. The Commission described the fee disclosure as a move to enhance transparency and compliance across the university.
“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 added.
The release is expected to provide clarity for students and parents and ensure smoother implementation of the academic year’s financial requirements.
