Notice
The fact that there are a finite amount of spots available across all disciplines must be noted.
The most qualified candidates are chosen initially, and the process is repeated until all positions have been filled.
It is doubtful that candidates who score below the minimum published will be chosen.
Academic excellence is important to UKZN; however, not all applicants who achieve the minimum requirements will be given spots because demand exceeds the number of openings.
- Consult the CAO handbook that provides listings of qualifications available at the different institutions.
- Have a look through the various courses offered and choose a program that interests you and for which you may qualify. Pay attention to closing dates for qualifications.
- Find the program code that is linked to the qualification that you have chosen. This code needs to be entered on the application form.
- Use this program code when completing the CAO form, which is available from the CAO, the CAO website, the University’s Application, and Information Office at Howard College, or the Student Academic Administration Offices at Edgewood, Howard College, Pietermaritzburg, and Westville campuses.
- Apply online, by completing the online application form on the website: www.cao.ac.za
