The false publication claims that new rates for residential halls on the UCC campus are set to increase for the upcoming 2023/2024 academic year.
However, the university’s management has promptly addressed these rumors and set the record straight.
The University of Cape Coast (UCC) on September 14 officially responded to the false reports regarding an increase in prices for residential halls on campus for the upcoming academic year.
In a statement released by Major Kofi Baah-Bentum (Rid), the Director of the Directorate of Public Affairs, the university clarified its stance on the matter.
Contrary to the false information circulating on social media, UCC’s management has confirmed that they have not determined any new rates for accommodation in the Halls of Residence for the 2023/2024 academic year.

The university administration wants to reassure its students and stakeholders that any decision to change the rates for residential accommodation on campus will be made through established procedures.
In a stern message to those responsible for spreading false information, the university has advised them to desist from such actions. Peddling falsehoods not only damages the reputation of the institution but can also have serious consequences.
