Ethics Policy

EPUC is a Christian University committed to God‟s word and the spiritual life of the individual. Admissions, employment and academic awards are based on merit without regard to ethnicity, race or nationality, religious affiliation or beliefs, gender or social status. Age and disability will not bar people from consideration for admission, study, research and work.

Academic and social interactions within the University College are governed by the principles of fair play, love, justice, team work, hard work, integrity, honesty, mutual respect, recognition and respect for authority, and human rights.

Student Support Services

The support and welfare services available to students include the following: i. Students Representative Council (SRC)

The SRC is the recognized apex students‟ body of the University College. It is the mouth piece of the entire student body, and seeks the interest of students in academic, economic, social, cultural, recreational and other matters.

ii. Accommodation

During its sojourn at the temporary or take-off campus at Ho the University College is a non-residential institution; that is, there is no on-campus students‟ accommodation or halls of residence. It is therefore the responsibility of students to make their own arrangements to secure private accommodation off campus.

However, the University administration has arranged for some private hostels, and students will be personally responsible for the payment of rent, etc. Such off-campus hostel accommodation shall be under the general supervision of the Office of the Dean of Students which is expected to liaise with landlords to ensure the welfare of students. For now,

private hostel fees at Ho range between GH¢200.00 and GH¢500.00 per year of two (2) semesters. In addition students will pay utility charges at prevailing rates.

On-campus accommodation is available at the Peki Campus.

iii. Health Services

All students are responsible for their own Medical and Dental expenses. To this end, the University will encourage and arrange for students to take advantage of the National Health Insurance Scheme. On admission, each student is required to undergo a medical examination arranged by the Student Affairs Section of the University College.

In Ho, the Mobile Health Clinic run by the E.P. Church Social Services will be available to students in addition to the Ho Municipal Hospital which is only two blocks away from the EPUC Campus. Medical services at the Ho Regional Hospital are also available to students.

Students at the Peki Campus can benefit from medical services provided at the Peki Government Hospital which is about two kilometers away.
