Undergraduate enrolment FAQs


Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions about undergraduate enrolment.

You need to enrol online on the day that your faculty allocates to you. If you are entitled to a fee reduction or waiver, make sure to check whether you have to send in any documents beforehand.
