If you missed the chance to apply for the 2025 intake at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), you might be wondering about late application options. This post covers everything you need to know about CPUT’s late application process, fees, and important deadlines.
Late Application Fee
For those looking to submit a late application, be prepared to pay a R150 late application fee. This fee applies to national applicants with a South African ID, including refugees, asylum seekers, and permanent residency applicants holding a National Senior Certificate, Senior Certificate, National Vocational Certificate, or National Qualification.
Important Notice
Please note: As of now, applications for the 2025 intake are closed. This means that no new applications will be accepted for this academic year. If you were planning to apply late, unfortunately, that option is no longer available.
Dean’s Discretionary Process
The 4th Choice – Dean’s Discretionary process for late applications has also closed. This option allowed for some flexibility in the application process, but applicants will need to wait for the next application cycle to explore such options.
Application Requirements
It’s crucial to remember that only completed applications will be considered. Make sure to consult the list of supporting documentation required for your application. Applications that do not follow the outlined processes will not be considered.
Manual Applications
Be aware that manual application submissions will not be accepted, except for specific non-degree purpose programs as stated in the guidelines. Moreover, postal services, including courier services, are not considered for late applications.
Residence Applications
Due to limited space in residence facilities, CPUT’s residence department does not accept late applications. It’s essential to understand that academic acceptance to CPUT does not guarantee residence acceptance or placement. Therefore, it is highly recommended that students make alternative arrangements for accommodation as needed.
