If you are a WASSCE candidate waiting for your results but want to apply to the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, you can do so using awaiting forms. GIMPA allows applicants to submit their index numbers while waiting for results, which are automatically updated once WAEC releases them. This guide explains how to fill out the GIMPA awaiting forms step by step.
What Are GIMPA Awaiting Forms?
Awaiting forms are part of the GIMPA admission process that enables students who do not yet have their WASSCE results to apply for admission early. The system later retrieves grades directly from WAEC when they are released.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Fill GIMPA Awaiting Forms
Filling the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) “Awaiting Results” application is a fully electronic process with a critical step for updating your WASSCE grades after their release.
Here is a step-by-step guide for WASSCE candidates applying with awaiting results.
Phase 1: Initial Online Application (Awaiting Results)
1. Purchase the E-Voucher
You need an e-voucher to start the application. The e-voucher contains an Application Number and PIN.
- Where to Buy: Purchase the e-voucher from Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) branches nationwide or via the designated USSD Code (usually
*924*200*16#or check the GIMPA website for the current code). - The application fee for Bachelor’s/Diploma programmes is typically GHc 200.00.
2. Access the Application Portal
- Go to the official GIMPA online application portal (e.g., https://apply.gimpa.edu.gh/).
- Log in using the Application Number and PIN from your e-voucher.
3. Complete the Online Form
- Carefully fill in all sections of the application form with accurate personal and educational details. Ensure your Ghana Card number is entered without hyphens (-).
- Upload Documents: You must upload scanned copies of required documents in PDF format, including a scanned passport-size picture (35mm x 45mm, white background, JPG format), and any relevant identification (Ghana Card, Birth Certificate).
- Select “Awaiting Results”: In the section for WASSCE details, select the “Awaiting Results” option. You will be required to input your School Index Number and the Examination Year.
4. Submit Electronically
- Review all entries, as entries cannot be changed after submission.
- Submit your application electronically through the portal. Your application is saved as you work, but processing only begins after submission and payment is confirmed.
Phase 2: Updating Results (After WASSCE Release)
5. Monitor for Results Update Notice
- After the official release of the WASSCE results by WAEC, GIMPA will publish an Official Notice on its website or application portal.
- This notice will instruct you on the process and deadline for updating your grades.
6. Log In and Update Grades
- Log back into the GIMPA application portal using your Application Number and PIN.
- Navigate to the results section and replace the “Awaiting Results” selection with your actual WASSCE grades (A1-C6).
- Ensure the grades are entered accurately, as this determines your final eligibility.
7. No Hard Copy Submission is Required
- Unlike some other institutions, the GIMPA undergraduate application process for WASSCE applicants is primarily online.
- You do not need to submit hard copies of the completed form or result slips by post; all required documentation (including results, once available) is handled through electronic uploads on the portal.
For further enquiries, always contact the GIMPA Admissions Office directly: 📞 0332095432 / 0501620138 or check the Admissions page on the GIMPA website.
When and how do I submit my final WASSCE results? Once the WASSCE results are officially released, GIMPA will announce a short window for all “Awaiting Results” applicants to log back into the application portal. You must then update your grades (A1-C6) directly in the results section and re-submit your application before the specified deadline
Will GIMPA collect the results directly from WAEC? While institutions often have access to WAEC data, applicants are usually required to manually log in and enter their final grades to complete the application process. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the GIMPA Admissions Office.
What happens if I miss the deadline to update my WASSCE results? Missing the deadline may lead to your application not being processed, as GIMPA needs your final grades to determine your eligibility for the programme. It is crucial to monitor the GIMPA website/portal and update your grades promptly.
