Examination centres

Students must indicate the nearest examination centre to his/her home, by indicating the code of one of these on the registration form. By signing the application form, the student undertakes, inter alia, to write his/her examinations at this approved venue. Dual examination venues will not be permitted.

The examination centres have been divided as follows:

Republic of South Africa
Other countries in Africa
Overseas countries

Examination venues IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES are restricted to cities where the University is able to make suitable arrangements.

Prisons and detention barracks Â– only for prisoners

The University will do everything possible to arrange for examinations at each of the venues listed, but if no suitable arrangements can be made at a particular venue, the University reserves the right to change the student's examination venue.
