Dear Student,

Welcome to the 2026 academic year at Walter Sisulu University (WSU).

Effective application and registration processes are the foundation of a positive student experience. The first point of contact with the University remains critical for a prospective student as you try to learn more about the University, your academic department, faculty, and general administrative support offices. Following proper procedures in whatever you do during registration will get you to the point of your first day in the University classroom. WSU is prepared to accompany you on your life- changing academic journey.

How to Register –

1. 2026 Application Timeline

Before registration begins, you need to apply. Here are the key application dates:

Opening Date: Applications for the 2026 academic year officially open on 1 June 2025
Closing Dates:
- International Applicants: 30 September 2025
- South African Applicants: 31 October 2025
Note: Some sources list a 2 April 2025 start date, but this seems inconsistent with the official 1 June date. Stick with 1 June as the authoritative application opening.

2. Registration Periods for 2026

Once admitted, you’ll need to register. While detailed official dates for 2026 aren’t yet published, we can infer from the 2025 schedule:

2026 Estimated Registration Window

According to educational guides:

New (First-Time) Students: 25 February – 7 March 2026

These dates may reflect administrative planning or provisional timelines—always confirm via official university channels well in advance.

3. Why Timely Registration Matters

4. Preparing for 2026 Registration

Step	What to Do
1	Apply early—preferably soon after 1 June 2025—especially if you’re targeting competitive programmes
2	Track your admission status via WSU’s student portal
3	Once admitted, prepare for registration: gather your ID/passport, academic transcripts, proof of funding (NSFAS or bursaries), and acceptance letter
4	Register within the official window:
	– New students: 25 February – 7 March 2026 (estimated)
	– Returning students: 8 March – 22 March 2026 (estimated)
5	For subject changes (add/drop), check if a later window is provided (e.g., early February in 2025)

5. Final Notes & Tips

Official confirmation: Keep an eye on WSU’s [official website] or student portal for the finalized 2026 registration calendar.
Application vs. Registration: Remember, applying (June–October 2025) is different from registering (expected early 2026).
Stay organized: Save all documents as PDFs, bookmark important links, and note deadlines in your calendar.
Support channels: Contact your campus admin (Mthatha, Butterworth, Buffalo City, Komani) if you face any issues.
