Thereafter, take your curriculum form (now completed and signed off), registration form and MoU to the Dean’s representative – Anne Wegerhoff, Graduate Programmes Officer in the Faculty Office

Give your signed forms back to the administrator to have the data captured. The administrator will capture your chosen courses and read back to you what is on system. Pay careful attention to make sure that you have been registered for the correct courses.
Check your registration online within 48 hours, and report any problems to administrator at the Faculty Office. Failure to check your registration record could have fee implications.
Overall processing time: 2-4 hours (depending on volume).

• In terms of University rules students are required to maintain continuous registration until graduation. In February each year you must renew your registration (earlier if necessary for Research Masters and PhD students). A late registration penalty (R2000) is applied where re-registration does not take place by the due dates. Registration dates are published on the web. If you are not in the country at the time of re-registration, you should arrange in advance with the Graduate School in Humanities for a faxed copy of the forms to be sent to you.
• If you plan to interrupt your studies for a year, you must apply for a leave of absence so that you are able to return in the following year without having to reapply.
• If you do not maintain continuous registration and you decide to return after an interruption for which you did not take leave of absence, you will need to reapply.
