How To Complete Online Application At NWU For 2024-2025

The online application for the academic year 2024-2025 at North-West University is still open to all prospective applicants. For the 2024 intake, North-West University will not accept hard copies but online applications.

Only after all required fields have been completed can an application for admission be submitted online to North-West University. However, most applicants must submit additional information after submitting an initial application.

After submitting an initial application, a grade 12 applicant must capture and submit evidence of additional examination results. For information on full submission requirements, applicants should consult the appropriate (undergraduate or postgraduate) Directions for Applicants.

If you submitted your application online but the status of your application on the North-West University application portal has not changed as of the closing date. This could be because, despite providing additional information, you were still denied admission. This could mean you haven’t met the admissions requirements yet.

Make every effort to submit the necessary corrections before the June 30 deadline if you are applying for an undergraduate course.
