UG Undergraduate Course Registration: What You Need To Know Now

UG undergraduate course registration has been moved forward, so this is not the semester to wait till the last day. From Monday, 15 December 2025, Legon wants you on the portal choosing courses, sorting fees and planning your whole 2025/2026 vibe.​

What Happened

The University of Ghana has revised the start date for UG undergraduate course registration for the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Instead of the old date, registration now officially begins on Monday, 15 December 2025 for all undergrads.​

The notice from Academic Affairs makes it clear: only the start date has changed, but the registration deadline stays the same. All timelines for lectures and exams are still as captured in the official UG academic calendar.​

Why UG Undergraduate Course Registration Matters

This earlier start for UG undergraduate course registration means your planning has to start now, not after Christmas. Early students will grab better lecture times and cleaner timetables, while last‑minute folks may face clashes and leftover course slots.​

There is also a money angle most headlines skip. To finish UG undergraduate course registration, you must meet the minimum fee payment requirement set out on the UG portal and freshmen info pages. If your payment has not reflected, the system can block your registration, so this is not just about picking courses.​

Accommodation is another big reason to take this seriously. Random bed allocation for continuing students is tentatively set for 29 December 2025, and for Level 100s around mid‑January, with fee payment and timely registration feeding into that process. Delay your UG undergraduate course registration and you risk both timetable wahala and missing out on a hall bed.​​

Extra Tips for UG Undergraduate Course Registration

Competitor sites mostly tell you the date; let’s talk strategy.​
Try this simple plan for UG undergraduate course registration:

• Check the first‑semester academic calendar so you know when registration closes and when lectures start.​
• List your core courses first, then add electives and keep a backup list in case some classes fill up.​
• Log in early in the week, not on the final day, to avoid portal pressure and last‑minute errors.​​

If you have academic issues, contact your College Academic Office during the registration period instead of quietly hoping it will fix itself. For fee or billing problems blocking UG undergraduate course registration, the Students Accounts Office is the right place to call or visit.​

Conclusion

UG undergraduate course registration starting on Monday, 15 December 2025 is the university’s way of telling students to organise their lives early. The date may look small, but it affects your courses, your fees and even your chances of getting a bed on campus.​

So, if you are a UG student, mark the date, sort your payments and jump onto the portal as soon as registration opens. A bit of planning now will save you from stress when lectures begin and everyone else is still chasing slots and complaining about clashes.​
