Online Application 2024/2025 Checklist

Important Information About University Application

Know the things stated below before you apply to any university in South Africa

1. Online Application 2024/2025 Closing Dates

Make sure you are aware of the closing dates of the various universities you intend to apply towards.

• Your application must reach the University before the closing date in order to be considered.
• For University application dates see the site menu

2. Online Vs Postage or Courier

Be aware of how your application must reach the University. Some universities such as UCT have an online application process while other universities require you to post or courier your application so that they have the physical copy.

• Make sure you allow for the amount of time that postage and delivery takes.

3. Exam Results

Make sure you have all your exam results from Grade 11 and June matric exam marks on hand. You will need to submit these results to the University with the application.

• You will need to submit a certified copy of these results. Never send the originals!

FYI: Some universities require you to complete a National Benchmark Test (NBT). Find out more here and check with the institution if you need to complete one.

4. Make sure all details are correct

Forms can be a pain to fill in, and are often complicated! Go through the forms slowly and make sure you fill in each part of the form carefully so that you do not make mistakes.

• Consider doing your application in pencil before you fill it in in with a pen.
• A black ballpoint pen is usually the accepted method for filling in forms, put the purple pen away!

To consider:

Make sure you have a working email address, which anyone can create by registering an email address on gmail.com.

FYI: You will also need a working cell phone number and a postage address.

5. Financial Aid

Have a look at the fee’s booklet with your parents or guardians and together. Come to a conclusion about whether or not you might need financial aid. If your household income falls below a certain bracket, either of your parents or guardians are pensioners or either of your parents are unemployed, you may qualify for financial aid.

If you do require financial aid from your University, there will usually be a separate form you may need to complete. Make sure you have your parent or guardian’s most recent pay slip for this.

• You can also check out the List of bursaries for more ways to fund your studies!
