University of Johannesburg Late Application Closing Date 2026

This article explains how to apply for the University of Johannesburg’s 2026 late application period and highlights the late application closing date, as a limited number of courses with available spaces have been opened to the general public……..

The 2026 late application period is still ongoing at the University of Johannesburg. If you have not yet applied, you still have a few days to complete and submit your application for the limited available courses, as the application period is set to close soon, according to the Admissions Office.

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.

Why Apply to UJ

Studying at the University of Johannesburg allows you to learn in a dynamic and energetic environment. You’ll be taught by experienced lecturers, gain practical skills employers look for, and take your first steps toward a fulfilling career.

Closing Date

The 2026 late application period at the University of Johannesburg is set to close on Monday, 19 January 2026. Prospective students who have not submitted their applications by 02:00 noon on the closing date will no longer be able to access the application system. Applicants are therefore encouraged to act promptly while the opportunity is still available.

What to Do

The application process is completed online only. To apply, follow these steps:

Check whether your preferred course is still available.
Once confirmed, gather all the required supporting documents.

Use your personal phone number and a valid email address for the application.
