The Ghana School of Law (GSL) has postponed examinations scheduled for Monday, June 29, 2026, after heavy rainfall and flooding disrupted movement across several parts of Accra, including areas around the examination centre.
In a message issued to students on Monday morning, Management explained that it had monitored weather conditions closely over the previous two hours and, after consultations with the Chair of the Independent Examinations Committee (IEC), decided to delay the examinations to protect students’ safety.
The School strongly advised students not to put themselves at risk by attempting to travel through flooded roads or heavy rain to reach the venue.
Management assured students that the decision would not negatively affect anyone’s academic progress.
“No student will be disadvantaged. Students will not be penalized or disadvantaged in any way with respect to today’s examinations due to this Act of God,” the notice stated.
According to the School, examinations will only begin once conditions improve and students can travel safely.
Management further indicated that if examinations take place later in the day, students will be given enough time after the rains and flooding subside to make their way to the examination centre without pressure.
Students were encouraged to remain alert and continue checking official communication channels, including their email accounts, mobile messages, WhatsApp, the School’s website, and social media platforms for updates.
The School reassured students of its commitment to their wellbeing, stating, “Your safety remains our highest priority. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we continue to monitor the situation.”
The postponement follows heavy rains that caused flooding across parts of Accra on Monday morning, affecting transportation, slowing business activities, and limiting access to public institutions.
The flooding came after earlier weather warnings projected heavy rainfall and possible flash floods across parts of southern Ghana.
Several roads in the capital became difficult to use as floodwaters built up, leaving commuters stranded and disrupting normal activities.
The Ghana School of Law says it will continue assessing the situation and communicate any further decisions to students as conditions improve.
