UCT extends undergraduate applications deadline for 2021 admission

The University of Cape Town has extended the applications deadline for undergraduate admission in 2021 to 31 August 2020.

Undergraduate applications were initially scheduled to close on 31 July 2020. However, given the impact of COVID-19 on the application cycle for admission in 2021, and in fairness to undergraduate applicants, the closing date for undergraduate applications has been extended to 31 August 2020. This extension in no way affects applications for admission to any postgraduate programme or the Semester Study Abroad programme.
Part of the COVID-19 impact on applications and admissions to UCT this year resulted in the withdrawal of the National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) from the 2021 admission criteria. At the time of making this change on 30 May, UCT took the decision to review the rest of the undergraduate admission criteria and consider amendments that may compensate for the withdrawal of the NBTs. The review is underway, and the amended criteria will be announced shortly.
