UJ 2026 Late Applications Open on 12 January
The University of Johannesburg officially invites all prospective students who have not yet secured admission to apply for late admission through a new platform known as the Late Entry System 2026.
The Late Entry System is an online platform designed for applicants who missed the initial application deadline. It allows students to enquire about available spaces in courses offered at UJ and to apply where space is still available.
Get prepared as the University of Johannesburg prepares to launch the 2026 Late Entry System. This article provides all the essential details you need as you seek late admission into the University of Johannesburg for the 2026 academic year.
UJ Welcomes Late Applications for 2026 from 12 January (2026)
Applicants who wish to enquire whether the University of Johannesburg still has available space in a particular qualification must use the Late Entry System between 12 January and 21 January 2026. These dates mark the official opening and closing period for the UJ 2026 late application cycle.
Who Can Submit a Late Entry Enquiry for 2026
Only South African residents who wish to enquire whether the University of Johannesburg still has available space in a particular qualification, or who want to change to another course, may submit a late entry enquiry for the 2026 academic year during the designated period.
Applicants applying as transfer students (those who studied at another university or college) and re-entering students (those who previously studied at UJ) will not be considered.
Where to Conduct the Late Entry Enquiry for 2026
Prospective students are not required to visit any campus of the University of Johannesburg to conduct a late entry enquiry for the 2026 academic year. All enquiries must be completed online through the designated system.
There will be no walk-ins allowed for late entry enquiries, including requests to confirm application status after submission.
Courses Likely to Be Available
Only qualifications in which the University of Johannesburg still has available space will appear on the Late Entry Enquiry System, provided that you meet the minimum entrance requirements. Applicants are therefore advised to ensure that they satisfy at least the minimum entry requirements of the university before initiating the late entry enquiry process.
What You Need to Log Into the System
Since the entire late entry enquiry process is conducted online, you will need the following:
- UJ student number
- iEnabler PIN and password
- A smart device (such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer)
- A strong and stable internet connection
Documents Required for the UJ Late Entry Enquiry System (2026)
Applicants are required to upload the following documents when submitting a late entry enquiry:
- Certified copy of your Grade 12 results (if you have completed your exams)
- Certified copy of your Grade 11 results (if you are currently in Grade 12) – South African applicants only
- Certified copy of your identification document
How the UJ Late Entry System for 2026 Works
Prospective students who have not yet secured admission must access the Late Entry System and submit their personal and academic details. The system will automatically evaluate whether the applicant meets the minimum admission requirements and will display any qualifications that still have available space. Applicants will then be required to select from the available options.
After the release of the final Grade 12 results, the University of Johannesburg will conduct a final selection process. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their late entry enquiry within five (5) working days.
How to Check Your Status
If you do not receive an SMS or email within five (5) working days after submitting your 2026 Late Entry Enquiry, you should return to the Late Entry System to verify the status of your application.
In conclusion, the UJ 2026 Late Entry System provides South African students who missed the initial application deadline with an opportunity to apply online for available courses from 12–21 January 2026. Applicants can submit their details, upload required documents, and select courses with available space, and UJ will confirm their selection within five working days after the release of Grade 12 results. All applications must be completed online, as no walk-ins are allowed.
