The Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) wishes to provide clear guidelines for all prospective students regarding the registration process for the 2025 academic year.

Beware of scammers

CUT warns prospective students against individuals or organisations claiming to assist with applications in exchange for payment. CUT does not charge an application fee and has no authorised consultants to assist with the application process. If you are asked for money, please know that this is a scam. Always follow the official application process outlined on our website. You can whistle blow on this link.

Enrolment numbers and no late applications
