How To Activate UCC Institutional Email Account

Have you been offered admission to study at the University of Cape Coast? If YES, then on behalf of the entire Asetena.com team, I congratulate you on your admission.

Whenever you are offered admission at a university in Ghana, one of the things you need to do is to register for your courses online. After registering one other thing you need to do is to activate your student email account provided by the school.

The University of Cape Coast is one such institution that provides students with an email account. On the students’ portal, you will be provided with the details of your UCC institutional email account.

For workers and staff, the details of your UCC institutional email will be provided on the staff portal, or you can contact the IT department.

This email account is what the school will use to communicate all the information to you during the course of your study in the University of Cape Coast. Without activating your UCC institutional, you will not be able to receive an email from the University of Cape Coast.

Therefore, it is mandatory that you activate your UCC email before you begin your study or during the first month of stay in the school. And in this article, I am going to show you how to activate your University of Cape Coast Institutional email account.
