You will usually have a short period (about 2 days) to accept the offer before it expires.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rejected \/ Not Accepted means your application did not meet the requirements for your chosen programme, or spaces are no longer available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These messages help you understand exactly where your application stands and whether you need to take further steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should I Check My SU Status?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your status soon after submitting your application to confirm it was received.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the National Senior Certificate (NSC) results are released, SU begins issuing offers based on final results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a good idea to check your status regularly during the admissions period so that you do not miss important updates or deadlines to accept an offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should I Do If My Status Says Provisionally Accepted?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your status shows Provisionally Accepted, this means SU is willing to offer you a place, provided certain conditions are met.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These conditions often include submitting your final NSC results or outstanding documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure your email address and phone number on the portal are correct so you receive notifications from the university.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then follow any instructions on the portal to complete the requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Accept an Offer From SU?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have an Accepted \/ Offer Made status, you will receive instructions on how to confirm your offer online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SU typically gives applicants about two days to accept an offer before it expires, so check your email and the portal frequently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you accept the offer, the university will send further details about registration, orientation, and how to begin your studies in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens After My Application Status Shows Accepted?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After your status shows

2026<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will receive detailed instructions from SU about how to log in and complete online registration once you have accepted your offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration must be completed within the specified period to secure your place at the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SU Official Contact
