Applicants can check whether they have been offered admission by following these steps:

1. Visit the official UG admission status checker: University of Ghana Admission Status Checker

2. On the page, look for the “ADMISSION STATUS CHECKER” section.

3. Enter your Serial Number or Surname in the search field.

4. Click the Search button to submit your details.

5. If your record is available, the portal will display your admission information, including your name, programme, campus and admission type.

6. Successful applicants can then use the “Download Letter” option under the Action column to access their admission letter.

The official portal therefore allows applicants to search using either their serial number or surname, rather than requiring both details.
