The University of Venda (UNIVEN) has officially opened the registration period for newly admitted students. This marks an exciting milestone for successful applicants as they prepare to begin their academic journey at one of South Africa’s leading rural-based universities.
To ensure a smooth and efficient experience, newly admitted students are strongly encouraged to complete their registration online. Online registration allows students to finalize their studies from anywhere, reducing delays and unnecessary travel.
Student Support at the Heart of Registration
UNIVEN recognizes that registration can be challenging for some students, especially those who live far from campus or who may need additional guidance. In response, dedicated members of the Student Representative Council (SRC) are actively available to assist students throughout the registration period.
This commitment reflects UNIVEN’s strong focus on student-centered support, ensuring that no student is left behind. Through collaboration, accessibility, and a culture of service, the University continues to build an inclusive and welcoming environment where students can start their studies with confidence.
