The purpose of matriculation is to formally welcome freshmen and place their names on the roll of members of the University. It is involuntary for every freshman to participate in the matriculation ceremony, and most importantly sign the matriculation Oath. The checklists below are some important information first-year students must know about the University of Ghana matriculation.

1. Signing The matriculation Oath. Students are required to log on to the University of Ghana STS Portal and provide all the necessary information to complete the signing-in of the matriculation oath.

6. Duration For Matriculation. The University of Ghana matriculation ceremony spans an average of one (1) hour.

7. Are Parents Permitted To Attend UG Matriculation? The virtual matriculation session is particularly meant for students' participation. However, parents or siblings can join the photoshoot session.


8. Photography. Taking pictures is allowed and highly encouraged after the virtual matriculation ceremony. This year, HON. LYDIA SEYRAM ALHASSAN, who is the MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT for AYAWASO WEST WUGON Constituency, Greater Accra Region in partnership with the University of Ghana New Patriotic Party Tertiary Students Confederacy ( NPP TESCON) has resolved to make available photoshoot arena for students to take free photoshoots on the matriculation day.
