WSU Semester Registration Process and the Requirements Needed

Each academic year, both returning and new students of the Walter Sisulu University like other South African universities are expected to duly register themselves as students of the institution ahead of the new semester. For the students of the university, the WSU semester registration process is a very easy one that one can start and get done within a short while once you have all that is required.

The processes and requirements may alter each year, depending on the course that one is studying. For the current academic year, the process to follow is rather straightforward and easy. Long before now, registration can only be done offline, but it is now possible for one to do it both online and offline based on one’s convenience, and it can also be done online even when you are off-campus. Here is a look at the processes involved.

Important Things To Know Before You Can Start Your WSU Semester Registration Process

Before you can start the registration process of the university, it is important to note that one is expected to register for the first semester as it starts, as well as the second semester since a single registration does not cover both.

Another important thing is that one’s registration is not an automatic process. There are can be some restrictions placed on you, which may likely stop you from registering for the academic session. The restrictions are only temporary, and they can be done off with once you can handle what caused the restriction in the first place, which might be in the form of not meeting the registration requirements.

Finally, the registration process should be completed at least a month before tests for the semester starts. This is to ensure that you are duly registered for the courses you want. Your inability to finish the registration on time may make it impossible for you to sit for the test.

Before you can proceed to get your registration done, there are a few important things one must know to avoid any problems during the process, or in the future as there are things one may do that may lead to one being deregistered.

Unless you have been notified by the university administration that you have been offered admission, as a prospective student, you cannot register for the semester. Hence, the registration process is only applicable to new students who have been given their admission letter, as well as returning students.

Here are other important things you must take note of during the registration process:

• Ensure that you meet both general and faculty rules before you start the registration
• Your registration is not final because you can be deregistered even after registration for several reasons, including not meeting the minimum requirements for registration, registration due to human error, registration through fraudulent means, and failure to submit required documents.
• You can also be deregistered automatically if, after registration, you decide to cancel all subjects/modules.
• After you are through with your registration, it is important to have proof of registration, and as soon as possible, you need to verify that it is correct.
• After your registration, you must have a student card as all registered students are expected to have one.
• Late registration will attract a fee that will be decided by the university.
• Finally, each registration you make does not carry over to the next semester. Hence, you will need to have a fresh registration for each new semester.
