The Director of Academic Affairs at the University of Ghana, Mrs Lydia Nyarko-Dankwa, has issued an urgent clarification following the unauthorised circulation of a provisional graduation list on social media platforms.
The university administration moved swiftly to address the confusion among students who had begun sharing the document, many of whom assumed it was the final confirmation of their academic completion.
In an exclusive interview with Univers News, Mrs Nyarko-Dankwa emphasised that the document currently in the public domain holds no official status for the upcoming ceremony.
“Graduands should please disregard the provisional graduation call list that has been circulating,” she stated. “This document was intended for administrative use only and was not meant for public distribution.”
The leaked graduation list reportedly caused a mix of excitement and anxiety among the student body, as some names were missing or incorrectly placed on the internal draft.
Addressing the situation, the Director added: “We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding in this matter.”
To prevent further misinformation, the Academic Affairs Directorate has advised students to wait for verified updates.
“Official communication regarding graduation details will be shared through official channels,” Mrs Nyarko-Dankwa noted, referring to the university’s official website and student portal.
She also stated that steps are being taken to prevent future occurrences.
“The university is taking steps to prevent such incidents in the future,” the Director concluded, signalling a tightening of administrative protocols.
