How to apply for late applications online for 2025 

The process to apply for late applications online may vary depending on the institution you are applying to. However, there are some general steps that you can follow:

  1. Research: Find out which universities are open for late applications.
  2. Check available courses: The second step is to check the available courses because not all courses open during the late application period.
  3. Check requirements: Never make a mistake of applying without checking the minimum admission requirements.
  4. Apply Online: All late applications are submitted online. No walk ins are allowed in 2025 
  5. Submit your supporting documents: Most institutions will require you to submit supporting documents with your late application. This may include certified ID copy, certified Matric statement or certificate.
  6. Pay the application fee. There is usually a fee associated with submitting a late application. Be sure to pay the fee before the deadline.

Once you have completed all of the steps above, the institution will review your application and notify you of their decision. Keep track of  your application status online or via email. 

 

Here's what you need to know about late applications

  • Do your research. Before you submit your application, make sure that you check the available courses and the minimum requirements for the available courses. The truth is that, not all courses open for the late applications. Courses under the humanities get full very fast and it is not possible for them to open for late applications.
  • Not all Universities accept late applications. Some Universities have a strict deadline and any applications received after that date will be automatically rejected. These institutions include, University of Pretoria, Stellenbosch University, University of Witwatersrand and University of Cape Town.
  • Admission is not guaranteed: Even if a university accepts late applications, it doesn't mean you will be accepted. The competition for late spots is tight, so you'll need to make sure that you exceed the minimum requirements to be admitted.

 

To conclude, while applying late is not ideal, there's a slim chance of securing admission if you are fortunate but remember luck alone does not work when it comes to submitting university applications. You need to apply early and exceed minimum requirements to have a high chance of being accepted for late applications in 2025.
