UBA partners Regent University to launch Eduportal

United Bank for Africa (UBA) Ghana has partnered with the Regent University College of Science and Technology to launch Eduportal. Eduportal is software that largely enables students to pay school fees without stress.

The Eduportal system is a flagship product developed by the UBA Group for tertiary institutions, which has been rolled out for many universities in Nigeria and other countries. In Ghana, Regent University is the first to start using the Eduportal system.

Among other things, Eduportal handles the automation and processing of student and staff data, online application, admission and registration, transcript processing, online payment of tuition and other fees, document sharing, e-learning and checking of results.
The Eduportal also provides online registration and admission management, online admission status checking, virtual library among others and it seeks to provide efficiency and reduce manual handling and processing of data.

Launching the software, the Deputy Managing Director of the Bank, Daniel Addo, emphasised that “The cumbersome nature of paperwork associated with student information management, the ever increasing student population and the need to ensure timeliness and efficiency in service delivery in a modern day educational institution makes it imperative for a robust automation system that manages the yearly increase in student turn-over and oversee administrative and academic processes in a seamless effective and efficient manner.”

According to him, UBA Eduportal enhances administrative efficiency by cutting down cost while increasing productive output, adding that the portal was designed with the entire academic community in mind. “It provides a seamless interactive learning environment, creating a smooth and reliable interface between students and staff and the general public.”

Prof Kingsley Larbi, president and CEO of the university observed that the institution is aiming to become a world-class university within the next 10 years and it is “imperative that all stakeholders continue to strive towards the pursuit of what is considered best practices within the academic world.”
