Ghana’s University of Cape Coast (UCC) has suspended its affiliation and mentorship arrangement with the Royal Nursing College in Tafo-Kumasi following the revocation of the institution’s accreditation by regulators.
According to the UCC, its decision comes after the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), acting under its regulatory authority, shut down the nursing training school in February for failing to comply with regulatory directives.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, UCC announced that the suspension takes effect immediately and will remain in force until further notice.
According to the university, the move was prompted by the college’s failure to comply with directives issued by UCC, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana, and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission.
“The decision has been necessitated by the College’s non-compliance with regulatory directives and instructions,” the statement said.
UCC emphasised that it remains committed to maintaining high academic standards across all institutions operating under its affiliation and mentorship arrangements.
The university added that it will continue to collaborate with regulators to ensure that academic programmes run by its affiliated institutions adhere to approved frameworks.
Meanwhile, UCC has introduced a teach-out programme for current Level 300 students of the college, allowing them to complete their studies without disruption.
The university also encouraged the Royal Nursing College to take steps to meet regulatory requirements and restore compliance.
