Applicants should avoid entering their student number, PIN, password or other personal information on websites that are not officially connected to UL.
The university has warned applicants not to share login credentials, passwords, OTPs or PINs with other people.
What Do You Need to Check Your UL Status?
You should have your application details available before checking your status.
Depending on the system, you may need information such as:
- Your UL student or reference number
- South African ID number or passport number
- PIN or password
- Email address
- Cellphone number used when applying
Keep your student number safe because UL asks applicants to use their student number when communicating with the university about applications, admission or registration.
What Does “Admitted” Mean at University of Limpopo?
An Admitted status is good news.
UL has previously explained that an ADMITTED (A) status means that the applicant has been accepted to study for the qualification for which they applied.
If you receive an admitted status for 2027, you should carefully read all communication from UL and prepare for the next steps.
These may include:
- Accepting your offer where required
- Checking registration dates
- Preparing registration documents
- Confirming funding
- Checking residence status
- Completing online registration when it opens
Admission does not necessarily mean you should wait until registration starts before taking action. Follow any instructions contained in your offer or application portal.
What Does “Pending” Mean?
A pending status generally means that your application has not yet received a final decision.
Your application may still be:
- Under consideration
- Awaiting faculty selection
- Awaiting final Grade 12 results
- Waiting for documents
- Going through verification
- Being compared with other applications
A pending status does not automatically mean that your application has been rejected.
Continue monitoring your application portal and email.
What Does “Provisionally Accepted” Mean?
A provisional or conditional admission status normally means that the university may be prepared to admit you provided that you still satisfy certain conditions.
For a current Grade 12 learner, this could include achieving the required results in the final National Senior Certificate examinations.
Applicants should carefully read the conditions attached to an offer.
Do not assume that provisional admission is the same as unconditional final admission.
What Does “Unsuccessful” Mean?
An unsuccessful status normally means that UL has not offered you admission for that programme.
Possible reasons can include:
- Not meeting the minimum admission requirements
- Insufficient APS
- Not meeting subject requirements
- Limited programme capacity
- Strong competition for available places
- Missing documents
- Failure to satisfy programme
