Many students apply for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes each year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CPUT publishes firm opening and closing dates for the 2027 academic intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some applicants who miss these deadlines look for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bursariesafrica.co.za\/universities\/university-of-zululand-late-applications-link\/\">late applications link <\/a>hoping to still secure a place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the official CPUT application dates for 2027?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CPUT opened applications for the 2027 intake on Monday, 11 May 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main closing date for most undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programmes was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>30 September 2026<\/strong> \u2014 general closing date for most qualifications for the 2027 intake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain programmes had earlier closing dates than the general deadline. Examples of early closings included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>30 June 2026<\/strong> \u2014 health science programmes (now closed).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>31 July 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Emergency Medical Care and Somatology; <strong>31 August 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Education programmes and applicants from outside South Africa (both now closed).<br>Research Master&#8217;s and Doctoral applications follow their own, later timeline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These closing dates were published in official CPUT prospectuses and application guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does CPUT accept late applications for 2027?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CPUT has not yet announced a late application window for 2027. For the 2026 intake, CPUT reopened applications for a short period for programmes that still had space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a general guaranteed extension but a limited late application window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admissions guidance at the time placed that 2026 late window from 3 to 14 November 2025. If CPUT repeats it for 2027, it will publish the dates on cput.ac.za, probably after the 30 September 2026 closing date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few key points about CPUT\u2019s late application process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only programmes with remaining capacity can accept late applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late applicants must submit their application and pay a non-refundable late application fee (about R150) within the late window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A programme that is already full will not accept late applications, even within the late application period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some faculties, for example the Faculty of Education, may not accept any late applications at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Research Master&#8217;s and Doctoral programmes have later deadlines than the undergraduate cycle, which gives postgraduate researchers a separate opportunity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Because CPUT does not publish a dedicated separate late portal, applicants use the same official online application system used for the main application period whenever the late application window is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the official CPUT application link?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The official online application system for CPUT is accessed through the university\u2019s main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cput.ac.za\/study\/apply\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This portal is the official place to submit both regular applications and eligible late applications when they are open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to apply online to CPUT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply for admission to CPUT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cput.ac.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.cput.ac.za<\/a> and go to the Apply page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register an online account with a valid email address and South African ID or passport number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the online application form with your personal and academic details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload certified copies of your ID or passport and your matric or academic results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select up to three programme choices per application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If applying within the late window, pay the late application fee (about R150) when prompted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit before the relevant deadline or before the late application window closes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you submit, CPUT sends a confirmation email with an application reference number. Keep this number for tracking and future use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I missed the closing date?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you miss the 30 September 2026 closing date:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You will not be able to submit a regular application for 2027 unless CPUT announces a late period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the CPUT website for any late window for programmes with space, and ask the relevant faculty whether research degrees still accept applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare to apply early for 2028.
