Tips for a Successful Application

• Apply early: Don't wait until the deadline. Applying early gives you more time to correct mistakes or update documents if needed.

• Choose carefully: Make sure you meet the minimum requirements for your selected programmes. Have a backup option in case your first choice is highly competitive.

• Prepare your documents: Ensure all scanned documents are clear, up-to-date, and in the correct format.

• Use your own details: Never use someone else's contact information. UJ communicates directly with applicants via the email and phone number provided.

• Keep your login credentials safe: Store your student number and password in a secure place for tracking your application status.

• Check your application status regularly: UJ provides updates via its online portal—stay informed about the progress.
