Online system facilitates tertiary admission applications
The Department of Higher Education and Training said the CACH online system will be 'live' until 28 February to assist students with finding spaces at various institutions across the country
PROSPECTIVE students who have applied for admission at universities but have not yet secured a placement, are encouraged to utilise the Central Applications Clearing House (CACH) for assistance.
The Department of Higher Education and Training said the CACH online system will be ‘live’ until 28 February to assist students with finding spaces at various institutions across the country.
‘Learners who are unable to secure placement at the institutions they applied to, can send an SMS with their name, ID and contact numbers to 31629 or 49200 and they will be called back,’ the department said.
‘They can also access the system via the website cach.dhet.gov.za or send an email to CACH2020@dhet.gov.za.
‘The CACH service will verify the learner’s information and forward it to institutions that still have unfilled places.
Where places exist and applicants meet the admission requirements, institutions will contact learners to offer them available places.’
Students who did not apply can also utilise CACH for career guidance.
‘The 2020 CACH service is linked to the Khetha Helpline, which can provide career advice, guidance and information, and assist anyone interested in pursuing higher education and training opportunities or other skills development opportunities in the post-school education and training (PSET) system.
‘Learners will be guided through possible alternative options at TVET colleges, artisan training and other skills development opportunities,’ the department said.
