Important and non-negotiable dates in the process

When applying for university, there are several important deadline dates in the process. It is your responsibility to be aware of these deadlines and ensure that you do not miss them. You should aim to complete the different stages of your application well before the stated deadline. Leaving things to the last minute will jeopardise your application.

Missing deadlines without good reason, may result in the deletion of your application.
