UBIDS LLB Class demands reinstatement of 33 omitted graduands ahead of ceremony
UBIDS LLB Class of 2026 appealed for the immediate reinstatement of 33 students omitted from the final list ahead of Saturday's graduation. In an urgent petition to the Vice-Chancellor dated 3rd July 2026, the graduating class stated the affected students had met all academic requirements and paid graduation fees based on an earlier provisional list released by the School Officer. A subsequent list circulated on Monday, 29th June 2026, left them confident of participating. However, upon reporting to collect gowns and medals, the 33 graduands found their names missing from what was described to them as an 'unofficial' final list. "Families have travelled across the country to witness this milestone, only to be met with sudden exclusion on the eve of the ceremony," the letter stated.
The students argue that excluding the 33 students could bar them from admission to the pre-Bar course, set to begin in September 2026, forcing a career-stalling delay of one year. The LLB Class of 2026 is asking UBIDS Management to conduct an immediate audit, reinstate the 33 students, and authorise the issuance of regalia before the ceremony scheduled for 4th July 2026. They hope for an immediate resolution to avoid further public escalation. Registrar Dr. Job Asante issued a circular dated July 2026 in response to address the affected students' and their families' concerns.
