Ulink status check

UJ offers an easy-to-use online platform called the Ulink Status Check portal, where you can quickly see if your application has been successful.

Here’s a detailed guide on how to check your UJ status, step by step:

Step 1: Access the Ulink Status Check Portal

To begin, open your web browser and visit the official Ulink Status Check portal for UJ at https://student.uj.ac.za/status. This is the dedicated portal where you can track your application status.

Step 2: Log into Your UJ Account

On the Ulink status page, you’ll be prompted to enter your login details. If you’ve already created a UJ student account, use your student number and password to log in. If you haven’t registered yet, follow the prompts to create an account. This will ensure that you can securely access your status updates.

Step 3: Navigate to the Status Check Section

Once you’re logged in, look for the section specifically designated for checking your application status. This area will typically show whether your application is still under review, whether you’ve been accepted, or if further documentation is required.

Step 4: Review Your Admission Status

After entering the status check section, carefully review the information presented. Here are the key statuses you might see:

  • Accepted: Congratulations! You’ve been accepted into your chosen program.
  • Pending: Your application is still being reviewed. Keep an eye on any updates.
  • Rejected: Unfortunately, your application has not been successful for the current intake.

Step 5: Take Action Based on Your Status

Depending on the result of your status check, take the necessary actions:

  • If accepted, make sure to follow any instructions regarding registration, payment of fees, or other enrollment processes.
  • If pending, check back periodically for updates and ensure that you’ve submitted all necessary documents.
  • If rejected, you may want to contact UJ for further clarification or consider reapplying for a future intake.

Step 6: Keep Your Details Updated

Ensure that your personal and contact details are up to date in the Ulink portal. This will help you receive timely notifications about your application status and any further instructions or steps you need to take.
