The Directorate of Academic Affairs has organised a training programme for all Faculty/School/ Departmental Registration and Examination Officers (FREOs/SREOs/DREOs) of the University of Cape Coast.
The five-day training programme which started on Monday, October 16, 2023 is aimed at enhancing the implementation of the Academic Programme Policies and Regulations for Undergraduate Studies of the University.
Also, the training was to engage the officers to review the user requirements on the University of Coast Online Student Information System (UCCOSIS).
Speaking at the opening of the workshop, the Head of Students Records Section, Mr. Abdulai Mohammed Najimudeen, noted that it was important for FREOs/SREOs/DREOs to acquaint themselves with the Academic Programme Policies and Regulations for Undergraduate Studies of the University.
He noted that the officers could function efficiently and effectively if they were abreast of the content of the Academic Programme Policies and Regulations for Undergraduate Studies of the University.
“This document has the solution to most of the complaints we receive from faculty. Therefore, I urge all of you to get copies of this important document” he indicated.
