How Legon Will Run Its ‘Double-Track’ Academic Calendar From Mid-January 2021



The management of the University of Ghana (UG) says the “double track” academic calendar scheduled to commence mid-January 2021 will offer a safe and uninterrupted academic year.


The modular arrangement according to the university will be for the 2021 and 2022 academic year.


According to the university, this is to help minimize the spread of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) on campus among students, lecturers and staff.


It is also to lessen the burden of accommodation for students on campus.

Per the new arrangement, fresh men and final year students will go to school for nine weeks starting mid-January 2021 whilst level 200 and 300 will go between April and June.


Some students have expressed worries about the arrangement and said they were not excited about it.


Some have said the “double track” system was very questionable as they do not know what it entails considering the workload which they think could affect their academic performance.


Others think it would be very stressful for them. There are some who also think that it is very innovative.*
