Should you encounter any issues with the electronic academic registration, it’s crucial to visit the campus as scheduled for academic guidance (from 23 January to 3 February).

You will be notified via email and/or SMS, along with a link to commence the enrolment task. This link will direct you to the login page where you can proceed with your student number and password for enrolment.

Consult the Enrolment Guide that you received for detailed instructions on navigating the Online Enrolment Service. This guide will be distributed to continuing students in December, as well as to incoming first-year students.

Module Enrolment Process
