** In order to address various uncertainties regarding the registration of students who applied for NSFAS funding and after the announcement by the President, as well as to rectify incorrect messages regarding this issue, herewith a clear and detailed indication of how this process will be handled by the NWU during the registration process.
** Please take note that only students who have applied, and have been admitted to the NWU, will be assisted.
First-Years 2018
** Students who have attended quintile 1-3 schools, or who are supported by SASSA or disability grants, will automatically qualify for funding, and only after completing the consent form with the necessary information, will be allowed to register without paying any fees.
** Students who have applied to NSFAS within the given timeframe in 2017, and have been admitted to the NWU, will be allowed to register upon approval of NSFAS funding. These students will be assisted for registration pending the current status of their NSFAS application.
** Students who have not applied for NSFAS and their combined household income does not exceed R350 000 per annum, need to complete and submit a consent form to authorise NSFAS to complete credit checks in order to verify household income. Incomplete consent forms will not be considered.
** The NWU will perform a pre-screening of the provided information before the student will be allowed to register. The student will be informed within 72 hours of the outcome of the pre-screening after the COMPLETE consent form was received.
** In the instance that a student has been pre-approved, such a student will be allowed to register without paying any fees upon registration. Important: Students must please submit their forms as soon as possible in order to be able to assist them within the given registration time frame – please allow for the 72 hours needed to do the pre-screening.
** If the funding application is disapproved by NSFAS (even if it was pre-approved by NWU based on the pre-screening done), the student will need to pay the minimum payable amount within 5 working days after receiving the outcome from NSFAS, otherwise the student will be de-registered immediately.
** If the mentioned students do not want to wait for the pre-screening approval, they should pay the minimum payable amount upon registration and will be refunded upon final NSFAS approval.
Senior Undergraduate Students
** Senior students will be allowed to register providing that they meet the minimum academic progression requirements
Students who want to register with outstanding debt will be assisted according to the following categories:
** 2017 Approved students who have signed their Loan Agreement Form (LAF)/Schedule of particulars (SOP), but the NWU has not yet received any funding from NSFAS will be allowed to register.
** 2017 Approved students who have not yet signed their LAF/SOP for some reason, need to sign their LAF/SOP urgently, but will be allowed to register (only after they have completed the documents)
** Students previously attending a quintile 1-3 school or SASSA grant holders with outstanding debt, need to be identified and confirmed upon registration in order to be allowed to register. (Please note that all institutions are still awaiting funding from the DHET in this regard.)
** Any other reasons of approved NSFAS students with outstanding debt, will be dealt with on a case-to-case basis in order to assist these students.
** The NWU has no ceiling for outstanding debt for cash paying students and or other bursary holders, and will assist students during the registration per individual case on merit. Requests for special payment arrangements will be referred to the financial registration committees on each campus.
** For any further inquiries, please visit your financial office on campus.
