Have you applied to study at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and are wondering whether your application has been accepted?
You do not have to visit a TUT campus to find out. Prospective students can check their TUT application status online using the university’s official application-status service.
Checking your application status regularly is important because it allows you to see whether your application is still being processed, whether a decision has been made, and whether you need to take any further action.
How to Check Your TUT Application Status Online
Follow these steps to check your Tshwane University of Technology application status:
- Visit the official Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) website.
- Select Check Application Status.
- You will be directed to TUT’s online application-status system.
- Enter your South African ID number if you have one.
- If you do not have a South African ID number, enter the alternative personal details requested by the system.
- Submit your information.
- Your TUT application status and student number, where available, will be displayed.
Make sure that the information you enter matches the details you provided when submitting your TUT application.
What Do You Need to Check Your TUT Application Status?
TUT makes it possible to check your application without necessarily logging into the full Student Portal.
If You Have a South African ID Number
You can use your:
South African ID number
to search for your application status.
If You Don’t Have an ID Number
The TUT status system provides an alternative option requiring:
- Surname
- Full name
- Date of birth
Enter the information exactly as it appeared on your application.
Can You Check Your TUT Status Without a Student Number?
Yes.
One useful feature of TUT’s application-status service is that you do not necessarily need to know your student number beforehand.
Applicants can enter their ID number to view their application status and student number.
Applicants without an ID number can use the alternative personal-information option provided on the status page.
What Does Your TUT Application Status Mean?
Your application may go through several stages before TUT makes a final decision.
The exact wording shown by TUT can vary, but applicants may encounter statuses indicating that their application is still being processed or that an admission decision has been made.
Application Received
This generally means that TUT has received your application.
Your application may still need to go through the university’s assessment and selection process.
Application Under Consideration
If your application is still being considered, a final admission decision may not yet have been made.
Continue checking your status for further updates.
Outstanding Documents or Information
TUT may require additional information before it can finalise your application.
Check your application information carefully and respond to any official requests from the university.
Accepted or Admitted
If you have been offered admission, congratulations.
However, receiving an offer is not necessarily the final step.
Read the admission information provided by TUT carefully and complete any required acceptance, registration or other processes within the deadlines provided.
Unsuccessful
An unsuccessful status generally means that you have not been offered admission for the programme concerned.
Admission can depend on several factors, including academic requirements, programme-specific selection criteria and available spaces.
Your TUT Application Status Can Change
Do not panic if your status does not immediately show an admission decision.
Applications have to be processed and assessed, which means your status may change as the university works through the admission process.
For example, an application that is currently under consideration could later receive a final admission decision.
This is why applicants should continue checking their status regularly.
Check Your Email and SMS Messages Too
In addition to checking your TUT application status online, monitor the contact details you supplied when applying.
Check your:
- Email inbox
- Spam or junk email folder
- SMS messages
- TUT online application information
The university may use the contact details supplied during the application process to communicate important information.
What Should You Do If You’re Accepted at TUT?
If your application is successful, carefully read all instructions provided by Tshwane University of Technology.
You may need to complete additional processes before you can officially become a registered TUT student.
Depending on your circumstances, these may include accepting an admission offer, meeting outstanding admission conditions and completing registration requirements.
Do not ignore deadlines provided by the university.
What If Your TUT Status Has Not Changed?
Application processing does not always happen immediately.
If your status remains unchanged, continue monitoring the official TUT application-status system.
Avoid submitting multiple applications simply because your existing application’s status has not changed unless TUT specifically instructs you to do so.
What If You Can’t Find Your Application?
Start by checking that you entered your personal details correctly.
Make sure:
- Your ID number is correct.
- Your surname is spelled correctly.
- Your full name matches your application.
- Your date of birth is correct.
If you continue experiencing problems, contact Tshwane University of Technology through its official contact channels.

Avoid Fake TUT Application Status Websites
Applicants should be careful when searching for their status online.
Use only the official Tshwane University of Technology website and application-status system.
Never give your password, PIN, banking details or other sensitive personal information to individuals claiming that they can guarantee you admission to TUT.
Admission decisions are made by the university.
