NMU Online Application Status Check For 2026

Nelson Mandela University is dedicated to enhancing the student experience and has launched a streamlined status portal to simplify the online application and admission process. Applicants are strongly encouraged to utilize this portal to track their application status instead of visiting the campus. On-campus visits should only be necessary in cases of technical difficulties or when additional assistance is required for application-related matters.

Application Confirmation and Tracking

Once your application is successfully entered into the system, you will receive an SMS confirming that the NMU has received it. Please note that this message does not indicate acceptance into the program.

Applicants can check their admission status online by following the steps outlined in this guide. It is recommended to track your application progress one to three weeks after submission to stay informed about any updates or additional requirements.

Acceptance Notification and Registration

Successful applicants will receive an SMS notifying them of their acceptance into Nelson Mandela University, along with details about registration dates and the start of lectures.

To secure your place, you must complete the registration process within two working days of receiving the final acceptance notice. Failure to do so may result in your place being offered to another student, as spaces fill up quickly.

Declined Applications and Alternative Options

If your application is declined by Nelson Mandela University, you can sign up online at cach.cas.ac.za for alternative opportunities
