Attendance at Orientation is compulsory and students who miss the Orientation programme may have great difficulty adjusting to life at UCT.

What to bring

International students

If you are an international student you will need to visit the International Academic Programmes Office (IAPO) to get clearance for registration. Please take your passport and health insurance documents and be ready to pay your university fees (or show proof of payment if you have already paid). IAPO will be in the Sports Centre on the upper campus during the orientation programme.

What must I do if I am going to be late?

If you miss the meeting on the Plaza, please report to an orientation leader at the helpdesk in the foyer of the New Engineering Building (2nd level). The orientation leader will tell you where to go to join your department.
