The University of Ghana (UG) has announced that its 2024/2025 academic year will officially begin on Thursday, October 31, 2024.

This follows an initial delay announced on September 25, 2024, when the institution postponed the start of the academic year indefinitely due to a strike by several tertiary workers' unions.

In a statement released by UG’s management, it was confirmed that lectures will commence on Monday, November 4, 2024.

“We refer to our earlier notice dated 25th September 2024 regarding the postponement of the commencement of the University’s 2024/2025 academic year.

We can now announce that the 2024/2025 academic year will commence on Thursday, 31st October, 2024, with lectures starting on Monday, 4th November, 2024,” read the statement.

The university’s management further noted that an academic calendar detailing the schedule for undergraduate students is available, while calendars for other student categories will be issued soon and are expected to align closely with the undergraduate timeline.
