Klerksdorp Midweek, Potchefstroom - The North-West University (NWU) does not allow for any walk-in applications for first-year students in 2025. This means that persons who did not submit an application for studies during the application period, who did not receive an offer to study at the NWU or who applied for admission after the closure of the application period will not be able to make an application anymore.
The NWU announced on Monday January 13 it has reached full capacity for its 2025 intake, with no extra places available.
“We had more than 390 000 applications of whom more than 276 000 submitted their final applications.
“Of these, only 11 754 can be accommodated in terms of our approved enrolment targets by the Department of Higher Education and Training.
“The NWU is proud of every Grade 12 learner who has completed their school career successfully and want to wish them well in advance as they embark on their various endeavours.
“Unfortunately, we are just not able to accommodate any walk-ins who did not qualify during the application process last year,” says deputy registrar Prof Michael Temane.
