The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) has officially announced an extension of its registration period for the 2026 academic year. According to a statement issued by the Registrar, students now have until Friday, 6 February 2026, to complete their registration.
The university has described this extension as a final opportunity for eligible students who have not yet registered. Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this extended period, as no further extensions are expected.
Final Opportunity to Register for the 2026
The decision to extend the registration deadline was taken to support students who were unable to complete the process during the initial registration phase. Challenges such as outstanding documentation, financial arrangements, and system delays were among the factors considered.
University management emphasized that the extension is meant to ensure that deserving students are not excluded due to administrative delays. However, students are advised not to delay further and to complete registration as soon as possible.
Important Notice for First-Year Students
First-year students are advised that registration is subject to the availability of space. This means that even if a student has been admitted, registration cannot be guaranteed once programme capacity has been reached.
Due to high demand for certain qualifications, programmes may close once they are full. First-year applicants are therefore urged to register early to avoid disappointment.
Who Must Register During This Period
The extended registration period applies to:
- Newly admitted students for the 2026 academic year
- Returning students who have not yet completed registration
- First-year students, depending on space availability
Students who have already registered successfully do not need to take any further action unless advised by their faculty.
Why Timely Registration Is Critical
Registering within the official registration period is essential for full participation in the academic year. Registered students gain access to learning platforms, academic resources, timetables, and assessments.
Late registration may lead to difficulties in accessing course materials and participating in scheduled academic activities.
Official Confirmation from the Registrar
The Registrar has confirmed that 6 February 2026 is the final closing date for registration. Students are urged to rely only on official university communication channels for accurate information.
Conclusion
The extension of the 2026 registration deadline offers students a final chance to secure their place at the Tshwane University of Technology. With limited time remaining, students are encouraged to act immediately and complete all registration requirements before the deadline.
