KTU: Get Started With The Virtual Learning Environment By Activating Your New Institutional Email Account

Students of Koforidua Technical University are assigned institutional email addresses after their first-course registration into the University.  It’s important to know that your email with ktu.edu.gh is connected to the university’s Campus-Wi-Fi communications system.

These accounts are required for all students, so it’s important for you to activate yours as soon as possible. This email will ensure that you never miss important university communications and will be connected to your Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and Student Information Portal (SIP). Additionally, you’ll use it to access the University library services and software. Students are entitled to this account for a period of 5 years starting from the year of their first Registration into the university, after which the account would be deactivated by the University.
