New First Year Students

  • Online Registration: If you are made a firm offer, you will receive an SMS offer and a firm offer letter via email from the University. Please follow the instructions in the letter.

    Assisted Registration: Refer to the registration date in your firm offer letter.

    You cannot choose the date that you come to register. Failure to register as soon as an SMS offer has been sent to you will result in the offer being withdrawn, and the place will be offered to another applicant. No telephonic or email acceptances can be made. You may only accept one firm offer. Acceptance of an offer alone does not secure or hold your place. You have to register and receive confirmation that you are a registered student for 2026.
