The initiative, according to the University, aims to reduce plagiarism in the field of postgraduate training and to increase the power and originality of research results.
Professor Ghartey Ampiah, Vice Chancellor of the University, made the announcement at the 17th session of the 51st congregation convened for Graduates of the School of Advanced Studies.
A total of 1,183 students, including 495 graduates, trained in distance learning programs at the university and spread across six regional centers in Tamale, Sunyani, Kumasi, Accra, Takoradi and Cape Coast, received diploma.
Professor Ampiah said: "In our quest to become the engine of higher education, the School of Graduate Studies has commissioned a committee project to draft a plagiarism policy for the University."
"I am pleased to inform you that the policy has been accepted and approved by the Academic Council for its implementation during the 2019/2020 academic year."
The Vice Chancellor said staff and postgraduate students were being trained in the use of "Turnitin software" for the software to be properly implemented.
In addition, the University has also been active in developing infrastructure, particularly on-campus and off-campus electronic libraries, to improve graduate studies and research.
In addition, he announced the resumption of work on the building of the School of Graduate Studies, which had been blocked for lack of funds.
He badured that the University was hopeful and was confident in its ability to further develop higher education. He added that "with the current number of 7,381 graduate students in various graduate disciplines, we hope to increase the number of registrations from year to year."
Dr. Sam Jonah, Chancellor of the University, encouraged graduates to be bold, creative, and innovative in making sense of their certificates.
They should also return to help their Alma Mater serve as an encouragement to others to imitate.
