THINGS YOU MUST KNOW AS A FRESHER BY JESSIE ASANTE

The ushering of a newbie into a different

environment comes with numerous experiences including fantasy and awkward moments. Like a tour guard, I am bent on skimming you through some locations, hostels, halls, faculties and administrative processes you should know as a fresher.

 

UNIVERSITY HOSTEL

After securing admission, there are chunk of accommodation reservations situated in and outskirt of campus. Distance as compared to time varies from a minute, 2minutes, 5minutes walk from various hostels to campus. Some popular hostels are;

• WOANOH HOSTEL
• CONTENTMENT HOSTEL
• LORD’S HOSTEL
• PEACE HOSTEL
• ELITE HOSTEL
• PLANTAIN HOSTEL
• JEMI HOSTEL
• ADEHYE3 HOSTEL
• 99 HOSTEL
• SIR JOE HOSTEL
• JUBILANT HOSTEL
• STELLARS HOSTEL

And many more…

 

UNIVERSITY HALLS

One item I enjoy discussing is the notable Halls of Koforidua Technical University. All and sundry fantasize due to the competitiveness and rivalry that exist between the two. It is undisputed that there are only two halls in KTU, which are;

• Universal Hall (Animal Kingdom)
• Get Fund Hall

FACULTIES

Remarkably, there are five (5) Faculties in the renowned technical university. These faculties cumulatively offer thirteen (13) Bachelor of Technology programmes, twenty (20) HND programmes, other Diploma and Certificate courses in business, engineering, and science disciplines. The faculties are as follows;

• Faculty of Applied Science and Technology (FAST)
• Faculty of Business and Management Studies (FBMS)
• Faculty of Engineering (FOE)
• Faculty of Built & Natural Environment (FBNE)
• Faculty of Health and Allied Sciences (FHAS)

 

CLERGY/ADMINISTRATION

Freshers are required to report to school according to the academic calendar for the first semester. On reporting, all Freshers are expected to register their courses with the administration at their various faculties.

Credentials Required;

• A copy of original WASSCE certificate/ Results slip
• A copy of original Birth Certificate/Passport (Mature Applicants)
• Two passport sized pictures
• Receipt of school fees from the Trans-flow System
• A copy of acceptance letter

NB: You are to make FULL PAYMENT or 60% of approved school fees before you can register. Index number and your class can only be assigned after registration. Again, you are to take picture at the Students’ IT Office to secure your Student Identification Card (ID Card).

 

STUDENTS’ INFORMATION PORTAL (SIP)

The students’ information portal is a portal embedded in both the University’s Website and the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) web app.

 To login, use a web browser, Google Chrome preferably. Enter the URL http://sip.ktu.edu.gh/public/login into the address bar and search. On the Login page, enter your index number e.g; 04/2019/26**D and a default password “changeme” to into the home page.

 The SIP for short, displays Personal Information of individuals, Published Results after every semester, Lecturer Evaluation, Course Registration, Re-sit Registration, and Personal Account.

You are most welcome to KOFORIDUA TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY, enjoy your stay!
