NWU 2026 Registration and Orientation (R&O) Programme
The North-West University’s (NWU) Registration and Orientation Programme will commence from 19 January 2026. The programme has been designed in a manner that will allow sufficient time for each first-year student to move through the phases of registration, arrival on campus and orientation.
Shortly after the final grade-12 results are released, all prospective students who have been finally accepted by the university, will receive communication confirming this, and the details outlined in the programme HERE, will then be applicable.
