Registration for a Hall: The release of the admission list was followed by the struggle for a hall of residence where the portal for selection of a hall was open to all level 100s. This activity was a “survival of the fastest” sort of thing, where only individuals with very fast internet connection were able to get the hall of their choice.

Reporting to school: They began reporting to school from Monday, 4 September 2017 to Saturday, 9 September 2017. Upon arrival, they had to register with their halls of residence and in subsequent days, registered with their respective departments.
Orientation: The next activity for them after reporting, was the orientation. This started from Wednesday, 30 August 2017 to Saturday, 2 September 2017. The orientation gave them a fair idea of what they needed to know about the University of Ghana.

Akwaaba night: The SRC organized an Akwaaba night for the level 100’s to welcome them into the Premier University. The Akwaaba night was characterized by pieces of advice from notable people like the Head of Department of Biomedical Engineering, Dr. Elsie Effah Kaufman who also doubles as the quiz mistress of the National Science and Maths Quiz, controversial journalist Afia Pokuaa popularly known as Vim Lady and the member of parliament for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, Ebenezer Agyarko. There was also a play staged which was titled “I Will Chop You”. The Akwaaba party was climaxed with an after party at the Kikibees lounge in East Legon which recorded a very low turnout.
