If you’ve applied to the University of South Africa (UNISA) for the 2025 academic year and are waiting to hear back, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of students apply for admission to undergraduate, postgraduate, and short learning programmes at UNISA — and many are left wondering: Has my application been approved?
Thankfully, UNISA makes it easy to track your application status online.
How to Check Your UNISA Application Status
To check the progress of your 2025 application, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Go to the Official UNISA Status Portal
Visit the official application status page here:

Step 2: Enter Your Details
- Type in your Student Number (received when you submitted your application)
- Enter your surname, first names, and date of birth as requested
- Click “Continue” to proceed
Step 3: View Your Application Status
Once logged in, you’ll see the status of your application. It may be one of the following:
- In Progress – Your application is being reviewed
- Provisionally Accepted – Your application is being considered, pending final documents or results
- Accepted – You’ve been approved for admission
- Rejected/Declined – Your application was not successful; a reason may be provided
What If You Forgot Your Student Number?
If you’ve lost your student number, you can retrieve it using the “Forgot Student Number” option on the UNISA website. You will need access to the email address you used when applying.
When Should You Check Your UNISA Application Status?
It’s best to start checking your status around 2 to 3 weeks after submission. Keep in mind that high volumes during peak application periods may cause delays.
