Each year, UJ receives tens of thousands of applications for undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma programmes.
The main application cycle for the 2026 academic year closed in October 2025, but UJ also runs a late application (or late enquiry) process after final matric results are released.
When did UJ open applications for 2026?
Applications for UJ 2026 undergraduate and postgraduate admissions opened on 1 April 2025.
The official application period ended on 31 October 2025 at 12:00 noon (South African time) for most qualifications.
This applies to online applications through UJ’s official application system on uj.ac.za.
Prospective applicants must apply online before this deadline and upload all required documents, such as certified ID/passport copies and academic records.
Online applications are free, but paper-based applications may include a fee of R200 where applicable.
Does UJ accept late applications for 2026?
Yes, UJ runs a late enquiry or late application system after the main closing date for applicants who missed the October deadline but still want to study in 2026, provided that spaces remain available in certain programmes.
This system is not a separate public application link like the main application, but it is an official online enquiry process where you can check if UJ still has space in your desired qualification.
Late enquiries have a specific window in January 2026 when the system is active.
Only applicants whose academic performance meets UJ’s minimum requirements and only programmes with space available will appear on the late enquiry system.
What is the official late enquiries link for UJ 2026?
UJ’s official late enquiries page is part of the admissions section of the university website.
This page provides details about the late enquiry process and how to submit your information once the system opens.
You should not trust any third-party sites claiming to offer “late application forms” outside of UJ’s official site.
Official UJ late enquiries page: https://www.uj.ac.za/admission-aid/late-enquiries/
When the late enquiries system opens, you can use this page to enter your UJ Student Number, Grade 12 examination number, or ID number to check whether you qualify for any available places.
When does the late enquiries window open?
For the 2026 academic year, the late enquiry system opened in mid-January 2026 and ran for a few days while programme spaces were available.
Dates reported from trusted sources indicate the late enquiry window was expected to start around 13 January 2026 and close a few days later.
Because spaces can fill quickly, UJ warns applicants to submit their late enquiries early once the system is active.
Available qualifications can be removed from the system when they reach capacity.
How the late enquiry process works
- Once the late enquiry window opens, go to the UJ late enquiries web page.
- Enter either your UJ student number, Grade 12 examination number, or South African ID number.
- If you have a UJ student number, you may be prompted to enter your iEnabler PIN and password.
- The system will check whether there is space in the qualification you want and whether you meet the minimum requirements.
- You will be informed of the outcome within a few days via email and, in many cases, SMS.
Applicants do not need to visit any UJ campus in person to check their status.
What if no space is available?
If no space remains in your chosen qualification through the late enquiry system, you may consider other options such as:
- Choosing a different programme at UJ that still has space.
- Applying to a TVET college or another university with open applications.
- Preparing to apply early for the next academic cycle (2027) when it opens on 1 April 2026.
UJ application requirements and closing dates
- Undergraduate closing date: 31 October 2025 at 12:00 noon.
- Postgraduate closing dates may differ by faculty and programme, but also typically fall before the end of October.
- Applications must be submitted online at uj.ac.za — paper-based forms may not be processed during late enquiry periods.
