GUIDELINES FOR 1ST YEAR APPLICANTS/ PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS 2025
IMPORTANT NOTICE
• The University strives towards being a student-centered institution and has invested a lot in ensuring efficient online application and registration related platforms.
• Applicants (including prospective first-year students and their guardians), are advised to only travel to campus for assistance should they experience technical difficulties. This is to avoid large crowds.
• Please do not report to campus until such time you have received a final acceptance outcome.
• CPUT receives over 570 000 applications for study every year, so it is understandable that this is a high-volume period for enquiries. Students and members of the public are asked to please be patient as we process registrations and related enquiries.
• Meeting the minimum entrance requirements does not guarantee access into programmes. The competition for space in higher education institutions is high.
• Being accepted academically does not guarantee a space into residence due to limited residence spaces.
• Please visit the CPUT website page https://www.cput.ac.za regularly to access important applications and registration related information.
