The NWU has reached full capacity for its 2021 intakes (in the various qualifications), with no extra places available. Strictly in adherence to Covid-19 protocols and guidelines, no mass gathering will be allowed at the campus gates and admission offices.
“The NWU is proud of every Grade 12 learner who will complete their school careers successfully and want to wish them well in advance as they embark on their various endeavours. Unfortunately, we are just not able to accommodate any walk-ins who did not qualify during the application process last year,” says deputy registrar Prof Michael Temane.
He says walk-ins refer mostly to non-accepted students who still want to study but did not meet the criteria or did not apply for admission.
Any students who are uncertain whether they were admitted to study at the NWU should contact the Central Admission and Applications Office (CAAO) call centre or any of the NWU’s campus help desks after 24 February 2021, when matric results will be available.

Prof Temane reminds unsuccessful applicants that they may register online on the Central Applications Clearing House (CACH) website. The CACH facility sends prospective students’ information to all tertiary institutions. These institutions may contact them where places exist and if students meet the requirements.
