How To Check UJ Application Status and the Registration Process

If you have applied for admission into the University of Johannesburg, you must always take the time to check and see if you have been offered admission, even though most times, you will receive a mail to that effect. However, if you have not received it or you need to be very sure, there are several other ways you can check UJ application status.

While checking your admission status is easy and straightforward, the registration process is also easy if you have successfully been admitted. The process of checking admission status for new students is different from the process for returning students, and in the same way, the registration process also differs for the two.

The easiest and most convenient process to check this is through the website of the university. Here are the steps to follow:

Note:Apart from your application status, you can also check several other documents on the same page and download useful letters, not just the admission letter.

Prospective students must continue to check their application status to start getting set for the registration process. You will also be notified about your admission status by the university via SMS or email.

As stated, checking the UJ application status for students of the University of Johannesburg who are returning is different from the new student’s process. This is because, on the page where you can check your admission status, only three years are available for one to select and search.

If you are an old or returning student who wants to check the status, all you need to do is call011 559 4555.

If you are successful with your application process and have been offered admission, you will need to register within the registration window. Late registration attracts a penalty in the form of additional fees, while failure to register may cost you your admission, even after that period.

Here is a detailed process to follow during your registration:

Before then, you will not be allowed to attend lectures, access lecture materials, online materials, or be assessed for any module. Here are other things to know:

Some of the important documents you need to have for your registration include the following:

There have been reports that students under the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, NSFAS, from the University of Johannesburg are made to pay for registration fees by the university.

Contrary to this, NSFAS has since maintained that students who qualify for funding need not pay registration fees. The lack of clear understanding regarding this has got some students to be blocked from registering in the past, as the scheme did not make the payment on their behalf.
