How to Reapply at UFS | UFS Readmission Online Form 2025-2026

The University of the Free State is accepting applications from students who want to return for the 2025-2026 academic year. This includes students whose applications for the 2024 academic year were rejected. The application period is open from April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024. You can apply through the University of the Free State’s readmission form.

Applicants seeking readmission must submit a new application form to the University of the Free State for the 2025 January intake, which runs from 01 April to September 30, 2024, depending on the course. Unless otherwise stated on the official website, University of the Free State will only accept online applications.

The applicant may apply to the University Readmissions Review Tribunal (URRT) for the decision to be reviewed if they feel that the RAC did not have, or failed to consider, evidence relevant to their application for readmission, or that there were significant procedural irregularities in reaching its decision to reject their initial application.

What to do if you were previously rejected at the University of the Free State

Fill out the application form to submit a request for review to the University Readmissions Review Tribunal (URRT). Within four days of receiving notification of the RAC’s decision, send the readmission form and the documentation listed in this article by email to academicappeal@ufs.ac.za.

You must submit a new application to the University of the Free State for the 2025 application intake if your application for the 2023 application intake was denied. Entrance is not always postponed until the upcoming intake. Both new and previous candidates must follow these guidelines. You may, however, only submit one application for the 2025 intake. This can only be accomplished by completing the readmission application form.

Readmission and reapplication for the January 2025 intake are now open at the University of the Free State. On April 1, 2024, the University of the Free State readmission form was published on www.ufs.ac.za. The normal University of the Free State deadline for readmission is September 30, 2024. Postgraduate applications, on the other hand, have been extended until January 26, 2025.
