The readmission process for undergraduate students is governed by Stellenbosch University’s readmission rules and process, as stipulated in the University General Yearbook​, Part 1, under the heading “Readmission after Unsuccessful Studies”.

In accordance with these rules, undergraduate students must obtain (pass) a certain number of credits in a particular academic year to continue with their studies. Students who do not obtain sufficient credits, and who th​erefore do not comply with the readmission requirements, will not be allowed to continue with their studies.

Students may appeal academic exclusion, by applying for readmission to ONE academic programme for 2024. Appeals for readmission will be considered by the Readmission Appeals Committee of the respective faculty. ​

If you do not want to apply for readmission now – or if you do apply for readmission but are not readmitted – and you want to apply for readmission to SU in the future, you will first have to prove that you are capable of successful studies at a tertiary institution. For this purpose, you will have to pass applicable modules in your field of study, of the same standard and workload as those of the SU, to be considered for readmission to SU. You can do these modules at any university of your choice. ​

Clearly indicate on the readmission application form to which programme you wish to be readmitted. You may apply for readmission to the same or a different programme in the faculty where you were previously registered, or to a programme in a different faculty, but you are only allowed to apply for readmission to one programme. If your application for readmission to that programme is not successful, you will not be allowed to apply for readmission to a different programme, or as a special student.

Please note that if you were not previously registered for any of the following programmes, you are not eligible to apply for readmission to these specific programmes: ​​

  • BA (Sport Science)
  • BA (Law), BCom (Law), LLB, BAccLLB
  • BSc (Food Science)
  • MBChB
  • BSc in Dietetics
  • BSc in Physiotherapy
  • B of Occupational Theraphy
  • B of Speech-Language and Hearing Therapy
  • B of Nursing
  • B in Social Work
  • BEd
​

This readmission offer does not include accommodation. It remains your responsibility to secure your own accommodation. The Student Accommodation Office will not be able to assist students with private accommodation if there is no funding available. The majority of our funded students who are readmitted, also lost their funding. Readmitted students will also not be considered for residence as they do not meet the academic requirements. It is therefore necessary to inform students who are readmitted to make the necessary accommodation arrangements.
