Important Notes
- APS Targets: Don’t aim for the minimum. Popular courses fill up quickly with students who exceed the requirements.
- Subject Weighting: Life Orientation is only worth 1 point — don’t rely on it to boost your APS.
- Postgraduate Students: Most postgraduate courses are not funded by NSFAS. Contact the department directly for availability and funding options.
Apply Before It’s Too Late
CUT’s courses fill up fast — especially in Health and Engineering. If you see a course you qualify for and it still has space, submit your application ASAP via the CUT Online Application Portal.
If You Need Help?
