UFH Registration Fees For 2026 Academic Intake

The University of Fort Hare’s 2026 registration period is now open. Prospective students can submit their registrations online through the UFH application portal. Late applications will not be accepted, so it is important to register promptly to secure your spot. Once the application process is complete, selected candidates must officially register to become fully admitted students, as all new students are required to register manually.

The walk-in application process will be closely monitored to comply with Covid-19 restrictions.
A communique inviting walk-in applications for Management and Commerce has already been issued.

Once approved, faculties will alert the successful students and invite them to come in and register.
