These claims have been strongly denied by the institution, it has clarified in a statement released on February 17, 2025, that the GH₵500 fee paid by each of the 15,776 graduates covers several services, including gown rentals, a congregation publication, a university-branded souvenir, and administrative costs.

While acknowledging that medallions and scroll holders were not available during the ceremony due to delays in procurement, the university emphasized that it had already communicated the situation to graduates via an official notice on February 10, 2025.
