Fake University Admission Letters: How to Verify an Admission in Ghana

Short answer: a real university admission can always be confirmed on the university's own admissions portal with your application details. If an agent says they can "guarantee" a place, sends a letter you cannot find on the portal, or asks you to pay fees to their personal number, it is a scam.

Warning signs

• "Guaranteed admission" regardless of your grades.
• An admission letter that does not appear on the official portal.
• Fees paid to a person, not to the university's official account.
• Pressure: "Pay today or the slot goes to someone else."

How to verify an admission

1. Log in to the university's admissions portal yourself, typing the address.
2. Call the admissions office using the number on the official website.
3. Pay fees only into the official university accounts listed on its website.
