NB: The availability of specific programmes for late applications may differ from campus to campus, making it important for applicants to check carefully before submitting their applications.
Despite being late applications, all standard admission requirements remain in place. Applicants must meet the minimum academic criteria for their chosen programmes, including subject requirements and pass levels.
The college has emphasised that late applications are not an exemption from entry requirements but rather an opportunity to apply where space still exists.
How to Apply for 2026 Late Applications
The college has urged applicants to use the official Elangeni TVET College application platform when applying for late admission. Applicants will be required to upload certified copies of their identification documents, latest school results (Grade 9, Grade 11, or Grade 12, depending on the programme), and proof of residence where applicable.
In some cases, students may also be required to complete placement assessments to determine suitability for specific programmes, particularly in engineering and vocational fields. These assessments form part of the college’s commitment to placing students in courses where they are most likely to succeed.
NSFAS Funding and Financial Support
One of the most common questions surrounding late applications is funding. Students who are accepted for 2026 may still qualify for financial assistance through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), provided they meet the eligibility criteria.
Elangeni TVET College participates in NSFAS, which covers tuition, accommodation (where applicable), and allowances for qualifying students. Applicants are encouraged to ensure that their NSFAS applications are submitted and up to date, as funding processes run independently of college admission decisions.
