I have received my acceptance letter from Wits. What other documents will be required during registration?
Before you can register at the Faculty office, you need to obtain a clearance certificate from the Wits International Office. To get this clearance, you need the following: an original copy of an international passport, a fees clearance (obtainable from the Fees Office) showing that you have paid your tuition and accommodation fees, a valid study permit that allows you to study at Wits and proof that you have a South African based medical aid cover. If you are an undergraduate, you also need to have applied for Matric Exemption.
I have completed a Bachelors programme (degree) and would like to apply for a Masters programme (degree) at your university. How do I apply and how do I get my programme (degree) evaluated?
Please see the section onpostgraduate applicants. Postgraduate students who need to have their certificates/qualifications evaluated should contact the South African Qualifications Authority directly. (See www.saqa.org.za for more information).
What are the term dates at Wits?
Term dates and other important dates are found in the Almanac available on the website www.wits.ac.za .
Does Wits accept mature students?
Yes.
Does Wits offer courses by distance learning?
At present distance learning is not a focus, and for any qualification you would be required to spend a lot of your time at the University. For some qualifications, it is possible to do some of your studies away from the University, e.g. if there is field work or research required; however this is not truly distance education. Please contact the particular School for more information.
I have completed my first year of university in my home country. I would like to transfer to your university to complete the programme (degree). How do I apply? Will I get credits for the courses I have completed at my university?
The Application procedure is similar to applicants who have completed high school and the deadlines apply. Please refer to the guide under the section for undergraduates on application procedures. When you apply, you need to send your academic record from your home university. You may apply for second year if you think you qualify. The Faculty will then consult the department into which you are applying to ascertain if you qualify to have credits for the courses completed in your home country. Please contact the Student Enrolment Centre for more information.
I would wish to improve my English as I study at Wits. Is this possible?
Yes. The Wits Language School offers language courses. Refer to the guide for contact information for the Wits Language School.
What should I do if I want to transfer from a South African university to Wits?
You need to get a letter of release or a letter of deregistration which indicates your academic standing and that you do not owe books or fees. This is obtainable from your Head of School or Faculty Registrar.
