The last day for registration at any institution of higher learning holds immense importance for both new and returning students. Timely registration secures your enrolment in desired courses, ensuring you have access to educational resources and support needed to excel in your studies.

Navigating the registration can seem daunting, especially for first-time students. However, with careful planning and attention to detail, you can streamline the process and ensure a smooth experience. 3.

Don’t let procrastination or oversight jeorpadise your academic aspirations. Mark your calendars and take action to meet the registration deadline. 4. Compounding the registration woes are communication problems with National Student Financial Aids Scheme (NSFAS).

Moreover, reaching NFSAS support for assistance proves challenging for some, with long wait times or unanswered queries adding to the frustration. 5. The registration issues have significant financial implications for affected students.
