The statistics represent 43 percent increase in students enrollment figures this academic year.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. Ben Quarshie Honyenuga, who disclosed this at the University’s 28th matriculation ceremony, said the increment is due to the intake of the Free SHS graduates and outreach programmes.

Prof Honyenuga however cautioned the new students against breaking the University’s rules and the laws of the country on campus saying that they will be penalized when caught.
