The University of the Witwatersrand (WITS) offers an online registration system for students to register for courses and programs. The online registration process is typically done through the WITS Student Self-Service portal.

To register online, you will need to have access to the internet, a valid email address, and your student number and password. You will also need to have completed any required application processes and been accepted into your chosen program or course.

During the online registration process, you will be prompted to select your courses, pay any applicable fees, and upload any required documentation. It is important to pay close attention to any deadlines or requirements to ensure that your registration is processed successfully.

Online Registration opens and closes as reflected below. Students must complete their registration before the close of the Online System.

New first-year students
Online Registration: Online registration for new first-year students is now closed.
Assisted registration: Assisted registration for new first-year students is now closed.

You cannot choose the date when to come and register. Failure to register as soon as an SMS offer has been sent to you will result in the offer being withdrawn, and the place will be offered to another student. No telephonic or email acceptances can be made. You may only accept one offer. Acceptance of an offer alone does not secure or hold your place. You have to register and receive confirmation that you are a registered student for 2023.
