The Durban University of Technology (DUT) is one of South Africa\u2019s largest universities of technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It offers diplomas, degrees, and postgraduate programmes across several faculties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prospective first-year students apply to DUT for the 2027 academic year through the Central Applications Office (CAO). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many applicants want to know if they missed the closing date, whether they can still apply and where to find the late applications link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DUT closes most 2027 applications through CAO on 30 September 2026, and some programmes, such as Diagnostic Radiography (31 August 2026), close earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All undergraduate and most postgraduate applications had to be submitted via the CAO before this date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Different programmes may have had earlier internal closing dates, so it was important for applicants to check specific course requirements on DUT\u2019s admissions pages or on the CAO site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For most undergraduate programmes, DUT does not accept late applications after the official closing date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The university states that if the application period has ended, no late online submissions or walk-in applications will be accepted for the year concerned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n DUT has not announced late applications for 2027. For the 2026 intake, DUT did open late applications for selected programmes that still had space, and it announced them on dut.ac.za.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All undergraduate applications for DUT must be made through the Central Applications Office (CAO) portal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The CAO is the central system that processes undergraduate applications for South African public universities, including DUT. The official CAO application link is: https:\/\/www.cao.ac.za<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You should create an account, complete your details, upload the required certified documents, and pay the application fee via the CAO before the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no separate late applications link hosted by DUT for undergraduate programmes once the main application deadline has passed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The DUT site previously had a Late Enquiries for a Programme Form, but that form is no longer active, and late enquiries are now closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you miss the DUT application deadline, you cannot submit a regular undergraduate application for 2027 unless DUT announces late places. Otherwise, prepare for the next cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As an alternative, register with the Central Application Service (CAS), which replaced the Central Applications Clearing House (CACH) from the 2026 academic year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n CAS helps applicants who have not been placed find space at other universities and TVET colleges. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the official closing date for DUT 2027 applications?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
