UPSA registration timeline adjusted for admitted applicants
In addition to the extended application window, UPSA also adjusted its registration schedule for admitted students.
Registration for all successful applicants has been rescheduled to begin on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, and will close on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.
Importantly, the registration process for all WASSCE-admitted applicants will be conducted entirely online, easing the process for students across the country.
Applicants were also advised to carefully study the Guidelines for Fresh Students, which accompany their admission documents, to better understand registration procedures and academic expectations.
“All other timelines for the remaining academic activities remain unchanged,” the platform added in its update.
UPSA accepts applicants with D7
In a move that has encouraged many WASSCE candidates, the university reiterated its inclusive policy for applicants with lower grades.
The notice explained that holders of a D7 in any core subject still have an entry pathway, specifically through a two-year diploma programme.

After completing the diploma, students may proceed to top-up and earn their degree from UPSA. The institution stated:
“Applicants who obtained a grade of D7 in any core subject should return to step 3 of their online application form to change the chosen degree programme to the desired diploma programme.”
This renewed reminder comes at a time when WAEC has released the 2025 WASSCE results, with several reports highlighting a nationwide drop in performance.
