Frustrated About Delayed Admissions? Here’s What You Should Know

The delay in releasing the 2024 WASSCE results has left many candidates in limbo, especially those who applied to universities but are still waiting for admission decisions. This situation has caused anxiety for students eager to begin their academic journey. If you’re one of those affected, here’s what you need to know and do to secure your spot.

Why Are Admissions Delayed?

The delay in university admissions is primarily due to the postponed release of WASSCE results. This is because the government’s outstanding financial obligations to WAEC have disrupted the completion of post-exam processes. Without these results, universities cannot finalize admissions for many applicants.

Steps to Take If You’re Still Waiting for Admission

1. Contact the Special Admission Board:
   A Special Admission Board has been established by the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ghana National Accreditation Board (NAB) to assist candidates whose results are delayed.
   • Reach them via WhatsApp at +233 20 355 0989 or +233 54 160 3369 to explore early admission opportunities.
2. Verify Your Application Status:
   If you applied for admission but are yet to hear back, follow up with the university’s admissions office to confirm the status of your application.
3. Appeal Withheld or Cancelled Results:
   Candidates whose results are withheld or cancelled should immediately contact WAEC’s assistance service through WhatsApp at +233 20 355 0989 or +233 54 160 3369. For unresolved issues, visit the nearest WAEC office to file an appeal.
4. Stay Updated on WAEC Announcements:
   Regularly check WAEC’s official updates for information on when results will be released and any additional instructions for affected candidates.

A Word from Officials

Cassandra Twum Ampofo, Head of Public Relations for the Ghana Education Service, reassured candidates, stating:
“Efforts are being made to ensure that affected students can proceed with their university admissions without unnecessary delays.”
