The University of Cape Coast (UCC) has warned operators of fake online courses falsely claiming to be affiliated to the institution.
According to the university, these fraudulent online courses are not authorized by UCC and are therefore not legitimate.
The institution clarified that all of its official courses and programs are accessible only through its official websites.
In an issued notice signed by Major Kofi Baah-Bentum (Rtd), Psc, APR Director, Directorate Of Public Affairs dated Wednesday, 28th February 2024, the University of Cape Coast (UCC) said, they have identified the existence of fraudulent online courses purporting to be linked to the institution.
The management is informing the public that those online courses are not affiliated to the University and are fake. “We, therefore, strongly advise our stakeholders to desist from engaging with such offerings in their own interests.”
“The University of Cape Coast does not offer online courses through unathorised platforms or channels. All our legitimate courses and programmes are accessible through our official websites.
“We urge the public to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any online courses claiming association with the University on our official website (www.ucc.edu.gh).
“The University of Cape Coast, your University of Competitive Choice, remains committed to providing quality education and maintaining the trust and confidence of our stakeholders.
“We appreciate the input of the public in uncovering these fraudsters and assure all and sundry that we are collaborating with the relevant state agencies to bring the perpetrators to book.”
