The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Management has announced the indefinite postponement of the reopening date for the 2026/2027 academic year, which was initially scheduled for Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
In an official notice, the university explained that the decision was necessitated by the ongoing strike action by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) and its impact on the institution’s administrative operations and effective management.
The postponement means students preparing to return to campus for the new academic year will have to wait for further communication from the university regarding the revised reopening date.
University authorities have urged students, parents, guardians, and other stakeholders to take note of the development and await additional updates.
Management assured the university community that further information on the new academic calendar and reopening arrangements will be communicated in due course.
The university has expressed regret over the inconvenience caused by the postponement and appealed for the understanding, patience, and cooperation of all affected stakeholders as efforts continue to address the situation.
Impact of GAUA Strike on University Reopening
The ongoing industrial action by the Ghana Association of University Administrators has affected the university’s administrative activities, prompting management to suspend the planned reopening until further notice.
Students are advised to monitor official university communication channels for updates on the 2026/2027 academic calendar, resumption arrangements, and the announcement of a new reopening date.
