The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has approved the fee structure for the University of Ghana (UG) for the 2025/2026 academic year, retaining the Academic Facility User Fee at its current level.
The approval was announced in a statement issued on Monday, January 12, 2026, and signed by the Director-General of GTEC, Mr Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai.
According to the Commission, maintaining the Academic Facility User Fee at the 2024/2025 rate is intended to ease the financial burden on students while ensuring consistency in fee administration.
Under the approved fee schedule, students will pay GH¢50 as SRC dues, GH¢150 as SRC Development Levy, and GH¢250 as the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG) Development Levy.
Additionally, all 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 extended beyond that period.
The Commission emphasised that students must be properly informed of their rights, including the option to opt out of certain levies where applicable.
“This announcement seeks to address issues surrounding the 2025/2026 fee schedule for the University of Ghana. We expect the cooperation of all stakeholders to ensure smooth implementation,” the statement said.
GTEC noted that the approval forms part of ongoing efforts to promote transparency, accountability and regulatory compliance within the tertiary education sector.
