The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has directed the Royal Nursing College at Tafo Nhyiaeso in Kumasi to refund fees paid by students affected by the institution’s accreditation challenges.
In a public notice issued on Thursday, March 19, 2026, GTEC said students in Levels 100 and 200 are not recognised, as they were admitted at a time when the College’s accreditation had been revoked and it had been instructed to halt fresh admissions.
According to the Commission, the affected students were neither properly admitted nor matriculated, making their enrolment invalid under existing regulatory frameworks.
As a result, GTEC has ordered the College to refund all fees paid by these students.
The development follows the shutdown of the College on February 19, 2026, over what GTEC described as regulatory irregularities and anomalies.
The Commission also confirmed that the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has withdrawn the College’s licence, while GTEC has revoked its institutional accreditation.
In addition, the University of Cape Coast (UCC), which served as the College’s affiliate institution, has suspended its affiliation and mentorship arrangement.
Meanwhile, UCC is expected to conduct an audit of Level 300 students, with only those who meet the required entry qualifications to be absorbed.
GTEC further disclosed that some members of the College’s management have been processed for prosecution for breaching regulatory directives.
The Commission has advised prospective students and the general public to verify the accreditation status of institutions and their programmes before seeking admission.
It reiterated its commitment to ensuring quality, integrity and order within Ghana’s tertiary education sector.
