Academic registration is a process by which students (new and returning) officially follow in selecting courses for respective programmes. The process is carried out at the beginning of each academic year, and it is preceded by Financial Registration.

Grace period of academic registration is a period of 21 days of commencement of classes whereby students are officially allowed to add/delete/substitute a course(s). After this period, students are fined for late registration (an amount authorised by Council from time to time).

Students who wish to add, delete, substitute a course or courses must collect appropriate forms from the Academic Office and fill them in under the guidance of the tutor.  This process must be done within the first 3 weeks (21 days) of commencement of classes.

Penalties on late registration: Students who register after offical registration dates, (later than 21 days set aside for registration) will be charged a daily fee up to 21 days. Currently, the fee is M30.00 per day subject to change as deemed appropriate.

Registration is administered in the Academic office:
