Status check questions

There is no single national status portal. You check on the portal you applied through - the CAO for KwaZulu-Natal public universities, UNISA on myUnisa, and each other university on its own applicant portal. Pick your institution below for the exact steps and the official login link.
No. Your status lives only on the official portal behind your personal login. AskSmarty links you to the right place and explains what your status means, but it never asks for your login and cannot look up or change your status.
A conditional (or provisional) offer depends on you meeting a requirement, usually your final results. A firm offer is unconditional. Accept or decline any offer before its deadline - offers can lapse and free your space for someone else.
Yes, especially near deadlines when institutions process high volumes. Make sure all your documents are uploaded, then check back. Contact the institution through the official portal if it stays unchanged well past the published timelines.
AskSmarty is an independent national guide - not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any university, college, or the CAO. We link to official status portals but cannot check or change your status. Beware of anyone asking for payment to release an offer - that is a scam.
