STEP 4: FOR COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES & COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (FRESHMEN ONLY)

Registration Of Core Courses, UGRCs AND HERCs

A. University of Ghana Required Courses (UGRCs): 3 credits per semester

•  In the first semester students must enroll in any of the following University required
• courses:
•  UGRC 110 Academic Writing I – 3 credits
• UGRC 150 Critical Thinking and Practical Reasoning – 3 credits
• (In the second semester another UGRC must be taken)

B. Humanities and Education Required Courses (HERCs): 

3 – 4 credits per semester

•  In the first semester students must enroll in any of their bouquet-based prescribed Humanities and Education Required Courses. In most cases, students can select a HERC to take from 4-6 courses listed on their registration page after login.

• Courses offered as HERC, including the French Language, normally carry three (3) credits per semester. All the other foreign language courses carry only 2 credits per course. As such, a student who wishes to select a foreign language HERC must take 2 conjoined foreign language courses from the list. Such a student will therefore earn four credits of HERC for the semester

• Apart from French, Foreign language courses are only available in the first semester. (In the second semester another HERC must be selected from the same list as presented in the first semester).

STEPS FOR REGISTRATION

• Visit the STS Portal via https://sts.ug.edu.gh
• Sign in with your student ID Number and PIN as stated in your admission letter.
• Look for and click on “HERC/UGRC Registration” (Your regular courses are preregistered).
• Select one (1) course from the HERC and one (1) from UGRC (Please note that courses in modern languages are paired).
• Save the courses that you have selected and log out.

Steps for Residential Registration Online - Resident Freshmen Only

NOTE THAT THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE IF:

• A. You have registered for your academic programme.
• B. You have applied for and secured accommodation on campus.
• C. You have paid the requisite residential fees per modular session in full (within 48 hours after bed allocation).

Online residential registration is done through the MIS Web.

You may click here to access the MIS Web.

The procedure is as follows:

• Click on “Residence Registration” under the Student iEnabler (on the left side of the screen).
• Click on “Submit Residence Registration”.
• Then click on the year (in blue).
• There will be a display confirming the Hall and Room number.
• Click on “I Accept” to confirm.

• On the reporting date for Freshmen, report to your Hall of Residence with two copies each of your passport picture and proofs of your academic and residential registration for further assistance

Conclusively, It is expected that students register all the compulsory/required courses (UGRC & HERC) in combination with students' area of study before one can satisfy the requirements to take interim assessment (IA) and examination in order to be able to graduate at the end of one's stipulated years of study. 

In all, one is required to do four (4) UGRCs and one (1) HERC in the entire years of one's life in the University of Ghana. Failure to adhere to this rule will forfeit your right to graduation. Some students throughout the years have registered wrong courses and it has caused them a lot

On that note, it is prudent for all University of Ghana students to register for the right courses every semester in order not to find themselves wanting at the end. To do this, students must always consult their various course advisors for guidance

Relevant information will be provided in order to benefit your stay on campus. Expect more diverse information in every aspect of university students' life on SKO BUREAU in our ensuing news feed
