## Returning applicants (Phase 2)

If you registered before, you do not need to reapply. Log in with your existing account and select your preferred courses once the Phase 2 portal is active.

## Students at partner universities

At the University of Ghana and KNUST, the programme is compulsory for Level 100 students; your university will give instructions. Other partner institutions publish their own guides; GCTU, for example, has a registration guide on its website.

## Tips

- Use an email you check often; course updates come by email.
- Choose one track and finish it before starting another.
- If you lack a laptop or internet, choose centre-based learning. See [One Million Coders centres](https://chale.tech/one-million-coders-centres/).

Registration is only on onemillioncoders.gov.gh and is free. Ignore WhatsApp links and anyone asking for a fee.
