Accra, Jan. 20, GNA - Applicants seeking admission into the University of Ghana (UG), Legon, are expected to register on-line henceforth.

Prof. Elorm Dovlo, Vice Dean, Faculty of Arts, UG, who announced this on Tuesday, said all programmes with the exception of the Diploma to Degree, Executive MBA, Post-degree Law and foreign applicants were, however, expected to purchase forms from the Registry. Speaking at a forum to educate the public and prospective applicants on programmes and subjects choices, admission requirements and processes, Prof. Dovlo said the forum was to straighten public perception of UG's admissions.

He noted that, the university had seven subject areas with definite requirements with three campuses and 10 centres across the country to run its programmes on modular, full-time and distance basis.

Prof. Dovlo urged prospective applicants to be circumspect in their choice of programmes and subjects to make the work of the admission board easy. "Each major programme has a different mode of calculating results with regard to subjects," he said.

Prof. Dovlo advised applicants to pay attention to details and fill in the right information. "Now that we are going on-line, do not fill in wrong grades to persuade authorities, you will definitely be punished." He said, though the university operated within a cut-off point, affirmative action had, however, been taken to increase female enrolment while concessions are given to less endowed schools.
