CPUT has launched an online tracking system which allows applicants for the 2014 academic year to follow the progress of their applications.

The Application Tracking System was created by CPUT Web Developer, Lovemore Nalube, together with Director of Academic Administration, Kuselwa Marala and Acting Coordinatior of the Admission and Registration Centre, Llwellyn Appel as a solution to the high demand for clarity on application status.

The tracking system can be found on the CPUT homepage under the section “Study at CPUT”.

When using the tracking system, applicants are able to find information about their application status (accepted, provisionally accepted, not accepted or in progress) as well as campus and course details.

The tracker system has also been integrated on CPUT’s Facebook page, allowing applicants to track their statuses directly from their social media accounts.

The next phase of the project is to incorporate the tracker system with a mobile application service.

The Application Tracking System can be accessed via: http://www.cput.ac.za/study/track

The CPUT Faculty of Business recently held its graduation for students who had obtained the National Higher Certificate in Accountancy. Ceremonies took place on the Bellville, Wellington and Cape Town Campuses. Approximately 550 Accountancy students received the certificates.

The National Higher Certificate in Accountancy ceremonies are held separately from the main April graduation due to the size of the Business Faculty. It is the largest of the six Faculties and therefore produces extremely high numbers of graduates.

Bellville Campus held its ceremony on 9 May 2008 in the Auditorium. The Faculty awarded about 162 certificates. The keynote speaker was Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Business Schalk van der Merwe. The ceremony attracted 300 spectators.

Wellington Campus awarded about 23 certificates during its ceremony on 22 May. Cape Town Campus held its ceremony on 23 May. This ceremony attracted about 800 spectators and awarded about 365 certificates.

According to Student Administration Assessment Co-ordinator (Cape Town Campus) Tiffany Williams, the National Higher Certificate in Accountancy graduation is held once every year and students must pass all their 13 subjects over a period of two years in order to receive certificates. Ms Williams confirmed that the number of recipients has increased compared to the previous years.

Accountancy Head of Department Willem Lotter said that the graduation does not mark a formal exit point to a student's Accountacy studies but is an acknowledgement of the completion of a two year certificate that helps students gain access to the main stream of Accountancy and its related fields.

Business Faculty Director Llwellyn Appel has confirmed that almost all of previous certificate recipients have continued to study towards their third year (Diploma level) which he views as very encouraging.
