Accepting your offer and registering

Researched by the VarsityStart team from official university sources. Last checked 10 October 2026. How we check

A firm offer comes by SMS and by email. Firm offers are confirmed after final matric results.
Accept the offer on the Student Self-Service portal, complete the student contract and register online before the deadline in your letter. No telephonic or email acceptances are possible and you can only accept one firm offer.
Accepting alone does not hold your place: you must register and be confirmed. An offer is forfeited if you do not accept and register in time.
If you cannot register online or need curriculum counselling, you can register on campus by the deadline in your letter.
