University of Education, Winneba
The University of Education, Winneba, Central Region, has withdrawn 38 Level 100 students.
This was communicated via a letter dated March 7, 2025, signed by Dr. Mohammed Adam, Acting Head of Department (HOD), and addressed to the Department of Social Studies Education (DSSE).
“This memo informs you that the attached list of students has been withdrawn from the University, effective immediately,” the letter stated.
“This action is based on the said students’ failure to meet the minimum CGPA requirement of 1.0 and/or failure in more than the permissible number of courses after resists, as stipulated in section 4.2.1 of the Revised Undergraduate Students’ Handbook (2019),” the letter explained.
“This decision was arrived at after an audit and review of both their First and Second Semester Examination results (2023/2024 Academic Year), during which the affected students were duly counseled prior to their withdrawal.
“As a result, these students are ineligible to attend Level 200 lectures or take part in the Mid-Semester and End-of-Semester Examinations for Level 200 courses.”
The letter instructed, “Please ensure appropriate measures are taken to reflect these changes in your course register.
“The attached document details each student’s index number, name, and reason for withdrawal. Your prompt attention to this matter is crucial,” the letter noted.
Of the 38 students, 32 fell below the 1.0 CGPA requirement, while the remaining six failed more than three courses at the end of the 2023/2024 academic year.
