The total Affiliate registration amount must be paid ahead of the registration date. The Affiliate students' use of services, e.g. photocopies, printing and societies are run on a pay as you go system. This means that the student would buy non-refundable quota for these services at the Admin A cashiers.

Take note of the possibility that a department may request bench fees to be charged up to ZAR1000 per week. The charge for bench fees may be requested by the supervising academic's department. It is the student's OWN responsibility to find out if bench fees will be charged.

Application documents must be submitted electronically online www.sun.ac.za/international/affiliate

The affiliate student receives a Letter of Admission (LOA) and Affiliate Information sheet, which includes banking details and a reference number for the transfer of payments. To ensure a smooth application process, the student must provide all the required documentation as indicated on the checklist of the application form and an original signature. Please note that without a copy of the ID page of the passport and signature on the application form, the application cannot be processed. Once the Letter of Admission is provided to the Affiliate applicant, the prospective affiliate student can apply for a visa to South Africa at the nearest South African embassy.
