Specific Admission information
An application fee as stipulated in the
admission regulations of the CUT must be paid
before the deadline specified in the admission
regulations.
Prospective students must provide the Assistant
Registrar: Academic Structure and Student
Enrolment Services with their completed
application forms for admission to the CUT as
early as possible in the preceding academic
year or semester. A non-refundable
application fee is payable with each
application for admission.
Once the Academic Structure and Student
Enrolment Services Unit have processed the
applications, a selection list is drawn up and
forwarded to the various faculties.
Upon receipt of the selection lists, the
programme heads divide the applications into
three (3) categories, namely:
1.
Applicants who meet all the admission
requirements;
2.
Applicants to be subjected to the testing of
potential;
3.
Applicants who are considered academically
unsuccessful.
Applicants falling into the first category are
notified in writing by the Student
Administration Division that their applications
for admission to the CUT have been
successful.
The unsuccessful applicants falling into the
third category are notified in writing by the
Academic Structure and Student Enrolment
Services Unit that their applications for
admission to the CUT have been
unsuccessful.
Applicants falling into the second category are
notified in writing by the Academic Structure
and Student Enrolment Services Unit that their
applications for admission are subject to the
testing of potential. The date, time and place
of such testing will be clearly
indicated.
The testing of potential proceeds as
follows:
o
The applicant reports on the date and at the time
and place indicated in the letter.
o
The testing, as described in the admission
regulations of the CUT, is administered on
this occasion by the Health and Psychological Services
Unit.
o
The results of the test are arranged in hierarchical
order as soon as possible after the test.
o
The Health and Psychological Services Unit makes
these results available to the various faculties,
after which the relevant department heads make a
final selection of applicants for particular
learning programmes.
Candidates who have successfully completed the
selection process are notified in writing of
their admission to the CUT by the Academic
Structure and Student Enrolment Services Unit;
provided that applicants falling into the first
category will receive preference with regard to
placement in learning programmes, except where
the Senate determines otherwise.
The names of candidates who have completed the
test with regard to potential and have not been
granted admission are placed on a waiting-list
to be reconsidered during a subsequent
evaluation opportunity. Such candidates
will receive a letter from the Academic
Structure and Student Enrolment Services Unit
informing them that their applications for
admission have been unsuccessful after the
final placement in the various learning
programmes.
In the case of candidates applying for
admission to the learning programmes
Hospitality Management, Marketing, Emergency
Medical Care, Tourism Management, Dental
Assistance, Art and Design it is expected that,
in addition to the testing of potential, the
applicants will undergo one or more of the
following procedures before final selection and
acceptance can proceed, namely:
o
Psychometric testing/evaluation
o
Portfolio submission
o
Interview
o
Completion of a questionnaire
o
Assessment of practical skills
o
Any other process, as approved by the
Senate
Upon receipt of an official letter from the
Academic Structure and Student Enrolment
Services Unit to the effect that the candidate
concerned has been granted admission to the
CUT, the candidate must indicate in writing,
before or on the date stipulated in the letter,
whether he/she accepts the offer of admission.
Failure to do so could lead to the expiry of
the said offer.
Additional procedures designed to facilitate
the execution of the standard procedure may be
announced by the Senate in due time.
Standard administrative procedures and forms
used in the event of changes to the agreement
concluded with the CUT.
Upon registration as a student at the CUT, the
student signs a statement in terms of section
2.8.1 of chapter 4 of the CUT calendar,
declaring that he/she will immediately notify
the Senior Director: Student Administration in
writing on the prescribed LS 149 form
(available from the Senior Director: Student
Administration) of any change of
address.
Should any change to a learning programme or
subject be made, the student must supply the
Student Administration office with the
prescribed LS 151 form (available from the
Assistant Registrar: Academic Structure and
Student Enrolment Services), completed in
triplicate and signed by the relevant programme
head, before the predetermined deadline.
In the event of the suspension of studies, the
prescribed LS 150 form (available from the
Assistant Registrar: Academic Structure and
Student Enrolment Services), signed by the
programme head concerned, must be delivered to
the Academic Structure and Student Enrolment
Services Unit. In the event of a change of
residence or the cancellation of board and
lodging, the prescribed LS 150 form, signed by
the Residence Manager of the relevant
residence, must be delivered to the Academic
Structure and Student Enrolment Services Unit.
If the LS 150 form is not submitted before the
deadline, no discount/refund of fees will be
granted.
Students at the regional learning centres must
complete the prescribed LS 154 form (available
from the Assistant Registrar: Academic
Structure and Student Enrolment Services) to
apply for a student card, and must forward this
form together with a recent identity photograph
to the CUT.
If a student should lose/misplace his/her
student card, the student must reapply for a
new card immediately by means of the prescribed
LS 154 form (available from the Assistant
Registrar: Academic Structure and Student
Enrolment Services), since positive
identification is necessary for access to all
facilities on all campuses.
