Who Can Reapply for Readmission at UCT?

You may reapply for readmission at UCT for the 2027 academic intake if you:

Were academically excluded due to poor performance.
Voluntarily discontinued or deregistered from your studies and wish to return.
Previously applied for readmission and were unsuccessful, but want to appeal again (if eligible).
Wish to transfer to another faculty or qualification, provided you meet the current entry requirements.

Reapplication is subject to faculty approval and meeting all academic and appeal requirements.

Application Tips for Applicants re-applying for 2027

Download the latest prospectus and check your chosen programme’s faculty and minimum entry requirements before reapplying to UCT.

Complete the appeal form using Adobe Reader 10 or later (Mac users must use Adobe Reader, not Preview, to avoid blank submissions). Blank forms will not be processed.

The minimum APS for UCT is 27, though many programmes require higher scores. An APS of 24–26 may qualify you for a selection test, but admission is competitive, so aim above the minimum.
