GTEC orders Royal Nursing College to return fees after accreditation revoked
Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) ordered Royal Nursing College to return fees after accreditation revoked on February 19, 2026, in Tafo Nhyiaeso, Kumasi, due to multiple regulatory irregularities. GTEC confirmed that on March 11, 2026, it held a meeting with representatives of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) to discuss matters related to the institution's affiliation and mentorship.
UCC has suspended its affiliation with Royal Nursing College after the Nursing and Midwifery Council (N&MC) withdrew the College's licence and GTEC revoked its institutional accreditation. UCC has no record of students in Levels 100 and 200, indicating that these students were admitted improperly while the College's accreditation had been revoked. These students are not recognised by GTEC, and the College is required to refund all fees paid. UCC will audit all current Level 300 students and will only absorb those meeting the prescribed entry requirements.
GTEC's directive for the closure of the College remains unchanged due to the revocation of accreditation, withdrawal of the licence, and suspension of affiliation. College management members previously arrested for breaching regulatory directives during inspections are being processed for prosecution. GTEC has urged the public to verify the accreditation status of tertiary institutions and their programmes before seeking admission.
