Registration at CPUT has gone online.

In 2014, CPUT students will be able to register online from the comfort of their homes or anywhere else they have access to the internet.

This process is straightforward and will only take between 10 and 15 minutes.

The university has released a list of courses that are available for online registration and those enrolled in these courses must register online. This means students who are eligible to register online will not be able to do so in person as was traditionally done.

Several courses will not be available for online registration in 2014 and students following these will have to register manually at the various registration points.

Students who are unable to register online due to blockages on their accounts must consult with their respective faculty or finance for assistance. Only once these blockages have been dealt with, will students be able to make use of this user-friendly system.

Courses available for online registration can be viewed at http://www.cput.ac.za/students/about/sos

For any enquiries, please contact the CPUT Call Centre at +27 21 959 6767

NOTE: Registration will begin on 13 January 2014. More information on the dates of registration in each faculty will be made available online and will be sent to students via post.

To register in 2013, CPUT will only need 15 minutes of your time.

Thanks to the successful rollout of online registration, returning students will once again be able to make use of this user-friendly facility.

Students will have the option to register online from the comfort of their homes or anywhere else they have access to the internet.

Students also have the option of registering online at computer laboratories, which have been set aside for registration at CPUT campuses.

Best of all, this process is straightforward and will only take between 10 and 15 minutes.

To register online in 2013, students must meet the following criteria:

• Have no outstanding fees
• Qualify academically (this will vary from Faculty to Faculty)
• Have made the upfront payment
• Have been registered in the 2012 academic year

All international students as well as first-year students will have to follow the manual registration process, which will take place at the various campuses.

Those who have to follow the manual process will be assisted by registration staff at the various campuses.

By the end of January, CPUT officials will have successfully registered a total of 33 000 students.

Registration is one of the largest operations at CPUT. This process runs over four weeks and involves all academic departments and a large number of administration departments.

To date, a large number of students have already successfully registered for their courses at venues set up on the Bellville, Cape Town, Mowbray and Wellington Campuses.

CPUT is saying goodbye to long registration queues. As of January 2012 returning students will be able to register online in just under 10 minutes.

The implementation of the Student iEnabler System will fast-track registration, allowing CPUT to register up to 5 000 students a day.

Acting Registrar Nikile Ntsababa said following the traditional registration method allows CPUT officials to register only 1500 students a day.

“We piloted the system some time ago and all went well. We found it to be a very user-friendly system,” said Ntsababa.

In addition to online registration, students will be able to complete electronic payments, update personal information and view their academic records.

Ntsababa said while students can register from the comfort of their homes or anywhere else where they have access to the internet, they can also make use of computer laboratories at CPUT.

During the registration period, these laboratories will be manned by registration and faculty staff members, who will guide students through the process and assist with any enquiries.

However, Ntsababa pointed out that the January 2012 registration will be a dual process, with all first-year students required to follow the traditional registration process.

Only returning students following certain degree programmes will be allowed to make use of the on-line registration process. Returning students who follow programmes that have not been identified for online registration will also have to follow the traditional process.

Ntsababa said it is envisaged that within the next three years all students will be able to complete a number of administrative processes online, including housing registration and financial applications.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Operations JayanthlalBhana said the implementation of the online registration system is a milestone for the university.

“We are very excited about the progress made in order to ensure that students will find their study at CPUT a rewarding experience, from application, through registration until final graduation,” said Bhana.

CPUT has taken another significant step towards its stated mission of being at the heart of technology in Africa. For the first time in the university’s history, a highly successful pilot project for online registration has been launched. Acting Registrar Nikile Ntsababa says the whole idea behind this is to save time. On a normal day, CPUT is able to register about 1500 students - with online registration it can register at least 5000.

“This is just the first phase of a much bigger project. Besides the self-service academic registration component, the project will also offer student enquiry and administration, academic application and residence application functions online,” says Ntsababa.

Twenty-four students took part and all were enthused by the ease and simplicity of registration. Noxolo Ngqondela who registered for BTech: Quality says, “Online registration is very helpful and it was really good not to have to stand in the queue as some of us are working and don’t have time.”

Another BTech: Quality student Anna-Marie Witbooi agreed, “The process is very easy and user-friendly and took me five minutes or less.“

Igna Visser, who formed part of the team driving the project said, “We’re very encouraged as it was a very positive day for the students and staff. The feedback we received from students is amazing.” She says that once the project is fully-implemented, the system will allow the students to register anywhere in the world.

Currently, CPUT is in a process of cleaning up its data in order to fully implement the project. “We’re planning on escalating the project in due course. Part of the plan is to either identify a faculty or different departments from various faculties and roll-out a similar project on a bigger scale next year,” concluded Ntsababa.

Meanwhile, latest figures are that by Friday 28 January, there were 18,340 enrolments for the 2011 academic year. More detailed information on the current enrolments is available via CPUT’s MIS portal.
