Guide for applicants whose
ID numbers are already on the
online application system
Background: Students who have existing ID Numbers on the application system are usually
rerouted when applying on the University of Fort Hare (UFH) Online application system. Below are
the different categories:
a) Applicants who applied previously to and were not accepted for a variety of reasons have
their ID numbers already reflected in the system.
b) Applicants who applied currently and did not upload their documents also have their ID
numbers in the UFH system.
c) Last, existing UFH students who are applying to either study a different qualification or a
postgrad qualification have their ID numbers in the system.
Based on the above, the system has already generated a student number for the 3 categories, so
when they attempt to apply, the system usually informs them that the student number/ID already
exists.
So how can they apply or continue with the application process and upload outstanding
documents? See the steps below:
