R E G I S T E R E D S T U D E N T – D E F I N I T I O N A student will be considered “registered”when he or she has: 1. accepted the offer of admission and paid the commitment fee by the stipulated date; 2. paid all fees and charges prescribed by the University by the stipulated date; 3. agreed to the terms and conditions governing the University. E N R O L M E N T Enrolment is the process by which a student selects and confirms modules and/or class times specific to his or her course of study, in conjunction with his or her academic advisor. Upon completion of selection and confirmation of modules, students are required to pay their fees, receive financial clearance, agree with terms and conditions and collect their identifi- cation cards. E N R O L M E N T P E R I O D S All students, including those needing to repeat modules during the academic year, are required to enroll online with the University. (Please see “Academic Calendar Year” for enrolment periods on page 12). D E F E R R A L S Applicants offered admission to the University may request a deferral of their registration for a period of one year. Requests for deferral should be done in writing to the Assistant Registrar, Admission and Enrol- ment and copied to the Head of School/ Department before the beginning of the instructional period in which the course of study would normally commence. Applicants who have been granted deferrals will be guaranteed places for the next academic year, in the course of study for which the origi- nal offer was made, only if there are no changes to the matriculation requirements. A new appli- cation will be required if there have been changes to the matriculation requirements. Two months prior to the expiry of the deferral period, applicants will be contacted in writing by the Assistant Registrar, Admission and Enrolment to determine their intention to take up the offer so that appropriate preparations can be made. Note: Applicants who are granted deferrals must complete the “Application for Readmis- sion” form.
