CPUT first year applications are closed
START OF A JOURNEY: Almost 9000 first years received acceptance letters to CPUT.
Thursday, 12 January 2012
Anybody still hoping to apply for a course at CPUT has a slim chance of getting accepted.
Many universities around the country have been swamped by thousands of matriculants desperately hoping for a place in a first-year university course. CPUT alone received almost 30 000 applications.
Acting Registrar Nikile Ntsababa says all available places for the almost 80 courses offered across the six faculties have been allocated.
The next step of the process is the registration of almost 9000 first-year students who have already received their coveted acceptance letters.
“After registration (ending January 30) we will consider wait-listed applicants. We don’t consider walk-ins,” he says. Ntsababa says anybody hoping for last-minute acceptance into a course is competing against the best of the best who started the application process as early as March of last year.
Many future first-year students have completed rigorous interview and testing processes to get their places. Faculties like Informatics and Design which offers popular courses like Photography and Journalism are often the first to close applications. Larger Faculties like Business accept applicants up until October.
Anybody wanting to study at CPUT in 2013 need to prepare themselves by studying their desired course's admission requirements and closing dates. Course information and electronic application forms are available on this website or alternatively call the hotline at 021 959 6767.
