Mid-year entry point
Some programmes have a second intake
of students during the year. You will find this
information under
‘entry term’
in the programme
list on pages 64-151 or on the CAO website
www.cao.ac.za
. Let us know in writing (see page

Sometimes other programmes also accept
students later in the year if they already have
an equivalent of first semester study. To check
availability, contact the institution.

received by this date, you will be required to
make a new application for the next entry.
If you have applied for the mid-year entry
in 2013 only, you have until 31 August 2013 to
extend your application to 2014. If your request
