The National Accreditation Board has released a list of 53 tertiary institutions that are operating yet are unaccredited by the board.
What this means is that enrolling in these institutions would be futile, as they do not have the mandate to award certificates. The Board is therefore calling on the public to steer clear of these institutions.
Aside the blacklisted 53 institutions, some of whom have very interesting names; the board has ordered Jayee University in Accra and Data Link University in Tema to stop enrollment. This is because whilst they remain accredited, they have flouted some rules which they have to abide by before the Board would return their status to normal.
Surprisingly, the government owned University for Development Studies (UDS, has also been directed to cease fresh admissions to its Bachelor of Education in Health Science programme for 2015/16 .
The board also says they would add unto the list as and when necessary. When choosing a University of choice it’s important you choose one that is accredited, as you wouldn’t want to complete a three or four year course to realise it has all been for nothing.
Below is the list of 53 unaccredited universities…
