The University of Cape Coast has announced the suspension of its affiliation and mentorship relationship with Royal Nursing College in Tafo-Kumasi following regulatory issues affecting the institution.
In a press release dated Wednesday, 11th March 2026, the university informed the general public that the decision was taken after the revocation of accreditation previously granted to the college by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission.
According to the statement, the suspension will remain in effect until further notice.
The university explained that the decision became necessary due to the college’s non-compliance with regulatory directives and instructions issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, and the University of Cape Coast itself.
Management emphasized that the institution remains committed to maintaining high standards of academic quality assurance and regulatory compliance in all programmes offered under its affiliation and mentorship arrangements.
The University of Cape Coast also assured the public that it will continue to collaborate with relevant authorities to ensure that academic programmes run by its affiliated institutions operate within approved regulatory frameworks.
Meanwhile, the university has encouraged the Royal Nursing College to work towards meeting the required regulatory directives to restore compliance.
To protect the academic progress of affected students, the university has initiated a teach-out programme for current Level 300 students, allowing them to complete their studies without disruption.
