The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has issued a warning to prospective students and their guardians about a fraudulent syndicate falsely claiming to facilitate university admissions.
In a press release dated August 23, 2024, KNUST management disclosed that the syndicate is using fake email addresses, including knust.inscript@gmail.com and knust.inscripton@gmail.com, to solicit payments and personal information from unsuspecting applicants. The university stressed that it has not authorized any individuals, agents, or third parties to handle admissions on its behalf, and all admissions processes are managed solely through KNUST’s official channels.
KNUST urged prospective students and their parents to disregard any fraudulent communications and report such incidents to the nearest police station. The university reminded stakeholders that official undergraduate admission forms are available at all regional post offices nationwide or can be purchased by dialing the short code *885# and following the prompts. Postgraduate admission forms are available at designated banks.
Dr. Daniel Norris Bekoe, Deputy Registrar of the University Relations Office, stated, “KNUST remains committed to a transparent and secure admission process for all applicants. We entreat all prospective students and guardians to exercise extreme caution and engage with the KNUST Admission Office exclusively to avoid falling victim to fraud.”
The university reiterated its dedication to ensuring a safe and legitimate admission process and encouraged the public to contact the KNUST Admission Office for any inquiries.
