Introducing Ghana’s New Student Transcript Portal (STP)

What is the STP?

The STP is an online “vault” run by WAEC that stores each learner’s full academic record for all six semesters of SHS. Inside you’ll find: For the first time, every Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana has a single, secure website – https://stpshs.waecgh.org – that stores each learner’s complete academic journey.         

Marks, credits, grade-point averages, even short notes on attitude and leadership, all stored in one place. No more chasing loose report cards or waiting weeks for a transfer letter; the STP makes results instant, tamper-proof and portable.

What is CGPA—and why should you care?

Cumulative Grade-Point Average (CGPA) is the running “big-picture” score that tracks every grade you earn from Form 1 Semester 1 through Form 3 Semester 2. Think of it as

  • Your academic credit score—universities, scholarships, and employers glance at one number to gauge consistency. It informs them of your academic performance while in school.
  • A compass—slight dips warn you to seek help early; steady climbs show you’re on track.

          What is new:

  • Instant progress checks – Know your GPA long before university applications open. After every semester you get a Statement of Results. After six semesters you get a full Transcript with GPA, CGPA, and character remarks—ready for university and job application. 

The remarks a student’s gets on their transcript remains on the WAEC portal forever enabling universities asses a student’s character before offering them admissions. Likewise prospective job owners can also request for a copy of a student’s academic transcript to ascertain an employee’s character.

 

  • Error spotting – Notice a wrong score? Alert your teacher early for correction. teachers can view statement of results of their students affect changes within a correction window period. Once that window is closed, no corrections can be made for any results entered  unto the portal.

 

  • Scholarship & visa proof – Download an official transcript or statement of results in seconds. With this new system, writing of English Proficiency test or exams ( SAT and ILET) for foreign university applications will be a thing of the past.

 

  • Smooth transfers – Moving to another SHS? Your records transfer securely; no missing files. Before now, moving from once school to another was a hard nut to crack. With this new system integration, student can apply for transfer from one school to another, his or her academic and personal data is automatically pushed to the new school.
