What is the UJ Late Applications Cycle?
The late application cycle is a routine practice of the university, during which a limited window is opened for those who were unable to apply earlier but are still interested in studying at the institution. It provides a second opportunity for prospective students to apply for courses with available spaces, and 2026 was no exception, as the late application period officially opened on 14 January 2026.
