University of Fort Hare (UFH) Status Check 2026

The University of Fort Hare (UFH) is one of South Africa’s oldest and most respected universities. 

Many students apply to study undergraduate and postgraduate programmes each year. 

After you submit your application, it is important to check your application status so you know whether your application was received, is being processed, has an offer, needs more documents, or has been declined. 

How do I check my application status at UFH?

To check your UFH application status, you must use the official UFH online portal called iEnabler. 

Log in with your student number and PIN that you received when you submitted your application. 

After you log in, you will see options like Application Status or Student Enquiry. 

Click on the relevant section to see your current application progress, including whether your application has been received, is under review, is provisionally accepted, or has been fully accepted.

This is the official UFH iEnabler portal link.

What information do I need to log in?

To check your UFH status online, you need:

• Your student number
• Your PIN or password that you created during the application process

If you forget your PIN, use the “Forgot PIN?” feature on the login page to reset it before trying to log in again.

What do the different status messages mean?

Once you have logged in and checked your status, you may see one of several messages:

1. Application Received means UFH has recorded your application.
2. Under Review means the university is reviewing your documents and application.
3. Provisionally Accepted means UFH has offered a place, subject to conditions such as submitting final results.
4. Accepted means you have an offer and should follow the registration steps.
5. Regret / Not Successful means your application was not successful for the programme applied for.

Always read the details that appear with the status because they may contain important next steps.

Can I check both undergraduate and postgraduate status?

Yes. Whether you applied for an undergraduate or postgraduate programme, you use the same UFH online portal to check your application status. 

After logging in with your credentials, you can view the current progress for the programme you applied for.

What if I can’t log in to check my status?

If you have trouble logging in:

1. Use the “Forgot PIN?” option on the iEnabler login page to reset your PIN.
2. Make sure you are entering your student number and PIN correctly.
3. Try using a different browser if the portal has compatibility issues.

If you continue to have issues, you can contact the UFH admissions office or IT support using the official contact details below.

What should I do if my status says Provisionally Accepted?

If your status shows Provisionally Accepted, it usually means you have been offered a place at UFH subject to certain conditions. 

These conditions can include submitting your final National Senior Certificate (NSC) results or other outstanding documents. 

You should submit any required documents as soon as possible and follow the registration instructions for successful admission.

How often should I check my status?

Check your application status regularly because updates are made once the faculty and the Admissions Office finish evaluating applications. 

You may receive an email or SMS notification when your status changes, but always confirm the update in the UFH portal itself.
