Guide for applicants whose ID numbers are already on the online application system

Background: Students who have existing ID Numbers on the application system are usually rerouted when applying on the University of Fort Hare (UFH) Online application system. Below are the different categories:

a) Applicants who applied previously to and were not accepted for a variety of reasons have their ID numbers already reflected in the system.

b) Applicants who applied currently and did not upload their documents also have their ID numbers in the UFH system.

c) Last, existing UFH students who are applying to either study a different qualification or a postgrad qualification have their ID numbers in the system.

Based on the above, the system has already generated a student number for the 3 categories, so when they attempt to apply, the system usually informs them that the student number/ID already exists.
