If you’re planning to study at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) in 2025, it’s important to stay informed about the registration process and deadlines. From final admission notifications to registration dates, there are several steps to ensure that your academic year starts smoothly. Here’s a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about UJ’s registration dates for 2025 and how to complete the process successfully.
1. Final Admission Process: What You Need to Know
Before diving into the registration process, it’s important to understand the final admission criteria and how your status is determined.
- Final Grade 12 Results: UJ will receive all final Grade 12 results directly from the Department of Basic Education (DBE) in January 2025. There’s no need for you to submit your results unless explicitly requested to do so.
- Admission Status Notification: Once selections have been finalised, UJ’s Student Enrolment Centre (SEC) will notify you of your admission status via SMS and/or email. Ensure that you are checking the correct email account for any updates.
- Official Admission Notices: No notice regarding your application status is official until you receive an email directly from UJ’s official email server. Be cautious of any unofficial communications.
- Verifying Your Application Status: If you haven’t received an email by 20 January 2025, you can verify your application status online via the UJ application portal. Alternatively, you can contact the UJ Call Centre at 011 559 4555 for assistance.
- Scam Alert: UJ warns all applicants to be aware of potential scams. Do not trust anyone promising admission or a study space at UJ in exchange for money. If you encounter suspicious activity, report it immediately to the UJ ethics hotline at uj@thehotline.co.za.
2. Registration Dates for 2025
Once you’ve received confirmation of your admission status, the next step is to complete your registration. Here are the key dates and details you need to be aware of:
- Registration Opens: Tuesday, 14 January 2025
- Registration Closes: Friday, 7 February 2025
Please note that online off-campus registration is the only method available for the 2025 academic year. No on-campus registration facilities will be provided. Therefore, all students—whether new or returning—must complete their registration online.
Why You Should Register Early:
It’s highly recommended to register as early as possible. Programs fill up quickly, and spaces are not guaranteed for those who delay their registration. The earlier you register, the better your chances of securing a spot in your chosen programme and modules.
3. How to Register Online
The registration process is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to complete your registration:
- Access the Registration Portal:

- Login to the uLink Portal:
- Log onto uLink (UJ’s online student portal) using your student number and password.
- If this is your first time logging in, click on CREATE A PASSWORD to proceed.
- Facial Recognition Verification:
- New students must complete a facial recognition verification to verify their identity.
- After creating your uLink password, you’ll receive an SMS with a personalized link to perform the facial recognition check.
- Review Your Registration Details:
- After completing your registration, double-check your Proof of Registration to ensure that you are enrolled in the correct qualification and all relevant modules for the year.
- Register for your full academic load as required by your program. Not registering for the full load may delay the completion of your qualification.
- Declare Previous Studies:
- If you have previously studied at another higher education institution, make sure to disclose this during your application process.

4. Important Reminders

- Disclose Previous Studies: If you have attended any other higher education institution, you must declare this information when you apply to UJ. Failure to do so can result in your registration being cancelled.
- Follow Official Communication: Always rely on official UJ communication (via SMS or email from UJ’s official email server) to verify your admission and registration status.
- Stay Informed: The registration dates are subject to change, so make sure to regularly check the UJ website for any updates or adjustments to the registration schedule.
