Department of Student Affairs




The Department of Student Affairs (DSA) is a fully integrated student support service department aimed at developing the holistic potential of all students through excellence and maximum participation in the five main focus areas of its operation, namely: Student Development, Student Governance, Arts and Culture, Sport Development and Student Media.
The department provides its services to most of the CPUT campuses and many of its services are free of charge. Student Affairs has only one condition: that you respect the culture, gender, religion, sexual orientation, opinion, belongings and bodies of your fellow students.
So, join a club or student society. Come with us on one of our outings, tours or trips. Try a new sport, learn about student governance, get involved in leadership programmes or contribute to student media. You may never have these opportunities again.
Get a life…. get a student life!
