University of Ghana Maintains Random Bed Allocation System

The University of Ghana has announced that it will continue its Open Random Bed Allocation system for the 2024/2025 academic year.

This initiative aims to ensure transparency and equity in allocating accommodation to newly admitted Level 100 students.

According to Professor Gordon A. Awandare, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Student Affairs), fresh undergraduate students can participate in the process by opting into the system after completing their academic registration.

“Fresh students interested in participating in the random bed assignment must opt-in after completing their academic registration,” he stated.

Students seeking accommodation must finalize their academic registration by January 17, 2025.

The deadline to express interest in the random bed allocation system is January 18, 2025, at 9 am.

The allocation exercise will be conducted on the same day at 12:00 noon.The University emphasized that the allocation process would be conducted openly to ensure transparency.

Professor Awandare reiterated the institution’s zero-tolerance policy towards illegal practices involving accommodation. “Under no circumstances should any student or parent/guardian pay money to anyone for a bed.

This is illegal, and both the buyer and seller will face sanctions according to university regulations,” he warned.
