GHANA

SMC University was registered in Ghana as a foreign university and it was accredited by The National Accreditation Board (Ghana) - NAB. In August 2016, the National Accreditation Board withdrew the accreditation status of SMC University. The university was asked to meet further requirements prior to re-registration in Ghana. However, The Executive Director of the National Accreditation Board, Mr. Kwame Dattey, stated that students who have already graduated from SMC University programs possessed valid credentials. Continuing students could still go ahead and complete their courses since the NAB maintained the registration of the SMC for such students in the next three years.[7] The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has partnered with SMC University over the years most especially for master's and doctoral programs.[8] http://www.whed.net/results_institutions.php
