Please remember to post, with your application, a legible copy of the official bank transfer advice/proof of payment so that we can trace your payment on our bank statement.

Retain the bank advice for your own records. Should there be a dispute regarding payment, you will be required to prove that you effected the transfer.

Current learners at school should ensure that all examination results from Grade 11 until September of grade 12 are submitted. Failure to submit these results may result in delays of your application being processed.

Transferring students should ensure that all transcripts and academic records are submitted as early as possible, and that a final transcript of current studies being undertaken reaches the Admissions Office as soon as possible after receipt.

You are encouraged to monitor the status of your application. You can do this online.
