UG revises admission requirements

Jan 14, 2016 News

The University of Guyana (UG) has decided to effect changes to its admission requirements. The decision was one that was made when the University’s Academic Board convened a special meeting during the latter part of last year.
The meeting saw the Academic Board unanimously approving that the number of sittings as a requirement for admission to the University be removed from the institution’s general entry requirement.
Previously, the general entry requirement was five Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) subjects at one sitting or a minimum of six subjects at no more than two sittings.
However, with the recent revision, the amended UG general entry requirement is now a minimum of five Caribbean Examination (CXC)/CSEC General Proficiency (Grades I and II; and III from 1998)/five passes at GCE ‘O’ Level, including English Language, the subject(s) required for the pursuit of the major, where applicable, and Mathematics for designated programmes.
The decision, according to a statement issued by the University, will take effect from Semester II, 2015-2016.
According to Registrar of the University of Guyana, Dr. Nigel Gravesande, “Access to tertiary education must always be seen as a fundamental right and not a privilege. It is in this context that the recent changes in the University’s matriculation entry requirements must be lauded as it presents opportunities for greater access to programmes being delivered by the University.”
Meanwhile, the University has informed, too that online application is now available for the second semester which commences on January 25, 2016. Prospective students are therefore invited to visit the university website at www.uog.edu.gy to view the available programmes.
