The University of Ghana has sanctioned 115 students for various forms of misconduct, including examination malpractice, following investigations by the institution’s disciplinary committees.

In an official statement released by Office of the Registrar of the university dated June 16, 2025, the affected students were found guilty of breaching the university’s rules and regulations during the 2023/2024 academic year.

The sanctions handed down by the University of Ghana fall into two primary categories: general misconduct and examination-related offenses.

Fourteen students, including Abdul-Yakini Lukman and Daniel Ansah, have been suspended for two academic years due to “disorderly conduct and failure to obey directives from University authorities,” in accordance with Statutes 42(1)(a) of the University of Ghana Statutes, 2011.

These suspensions are retroactive, applying to the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 academic years.

Examination malpractice constituted the majority of the cases. Students such as Christian Owusu Yeboah and Linda Attah Lambongyi were expelled for impersonating other candidates during exams. Others, like Ramsey Akoto Junior, received a Grade Z for leaving the exam hall with answer booklets.

Offenses involving unauthorized materials—such as mobile phones or concealed notes—resulted in penalties ranging from a Grade X to a Grade Z, depending on the severity of the violation.

Notable cases:

  • Eugene Nimo Obeng was suspended for one semester and given a Grade Z for being in possession of unauthorized materials and for exposing his answers to another candidate.
  • Lilian N.L. Miller received a one-semester suspension and a Grade Z for repeated violations involving the use of unauthorized notes during examinations.
  • Fatimah Iddriss and Justice Nii-Amo were reprimanded for misconduct during exams—Iddriss for rudeness toward invigilators, and Nii-Amo for engaging in communication with another candidate.

The university emphasised that these disciplinary measures are intended to preserve the institution’s academic integrity and deter future violations.

The notice, signed by the Registrar, Mrs. Emelia Agyei-Mensah, underscored the need for strict adherence to university regulations.

It stated, “All students are advised to familiarise themselves with the University’s regulations and conduct themselves in a manner befitting members of our community.”

The communication was circulated to all students and staff, with copies forwarded to senior administrative officials.
