Students are able to apply to the University of Pretoria through two primary channels (each prospective student must only complete one form):
1. Online Application
The Online Application System is intended for use by new prospective students submitting an application to TUKS for the first time. It is not intended for students presently registered at TUKS. Students who wish to apply online will need to have internet access and a working email address.
2. Paper-based Application
Prospective students may choose to complete a hard copy application form. These forms can be collected from the Client Service Centre on the Hatfield Campus during office hours. Once students have completed the form as well as attached a proof of payment of R300 to it (no cash), students must mail their application to:
The Client Service Centre
University of Pretoria
Private Bag X20, Hatfield, 0028
South Africa
Students are also able to request that a hard copy application form be posted to them by sending an e-mail with their details to csc@up.ac.za or by calling tel:+27 (0)12 420 3111.
Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible in the application cycle, which commences on March 1st of every year. You can find TUK’s Online Application form here, and their Paper-based Application here. Click HERE for Application Closing Dates
Applicants are required to have a copy of their ID and a copy of their final grade 11 school report.
Applicants are required to pay an application fee, except in the case of most graduates of TUKS. Application fees for South African students is R300.
For more information regarding application fees, please visit here.
School learners must ensure that all examination results from Grade 11 until September of Grade 12 are submitted. Failure to do such may result in delays within the student’s application process. You might find that you applied early in Grade 12 and thus only sent in your final Grade 11 results. If this is true, as the year progresses and you receive more results keep sending them through to TUKS, that way they will have all your results by the time finals come around.
Transferring students should too ensure that all transcripts and academic records are submitted as early as possible as well as that a final transcript of current studies being undertaken reaches the Admissions Office as soon as possible after receipt.
Once you have applied, keep a look out for your acceptance and/or provisional acceptance letter. You are encouraged to monitor your application status at all times, and can do so here.
