Important Information For All Students

Limited Space:
Keep in mind that all programmes have limited space available; therefore, you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. When we process your application for admission, we capture your details onto the UFS databases – if your details are not available, or if you have omitted it on your application form, you will not be admitted or be able to register.

For this reason, it is very important to complete the application form in full and to stick to the closin dates. Meeting the minimum admission requirements for your chosen/intended programme of study does not guarantee admission, as limited space is available in each programme.

National Senior Certificate:
If you already have a National Senior Certificate (NSC), you must include a copy with your application form.

Application:
Make sure that you complete the application properly and attach all the required documents. An incomplete application, as well as outstanding documents, will delay your application process. Make sure that you complete the application form thoroughly, e.g. your personal details, school performance levels, the correct name of the school you are currently attending or have attended if you have already matriculated. If you need on-campus residence accommodation and/or financial aid, indicate this in the relevant section.

Transferring Students:
If you transfer from another tertiary institution, you must include a certificate of conduct and an official study record from the previous tertiary institution with your application AND submit copies when you register.

International Students:
If you are from another country, you must attach your certified school-leaving certificate, diplomas, and proof of a conditional exemption certificate issued by the Matriculation Board, to your application. Apply to mb.usaf.ac.za for conditional exemption
