Important Information for New Students

Receiving an application acknowledgement does not mean that you have been admitted. Applicants should regularly check their application status and follow official UJ communications.

New students should also be prepared for the University's registration verification process. UJ states that new students creating their uLink password for the first time may receive an SMS containing a personalised link for facial-recognition verification. 

Students should never pay individuals who promise to secure admission, registration, accommodation or bursaries. Use only official University channels and report suspicious requests for money.
