The University of Cape Town (UCT) stands ready to welcome thousands of first-year students who have been accepted for their inaugural year of study at the institution.

The First-Year Campus Reception (FYCR) will kick off on Saturday, 27 January and will run until Monday, 29 January, at the Sports Centre on upper campus from 08:00 to 17:00 daily.

First-year students can expect to conduct important tasks at the FYCR, such as sign the UCT declaration and get their student card, among other things.

Check your UCT email account

If you have been made a firm offer after the release of your 2023 matric results, you will receive an email containing detailed information about the FYCR, as well as instructions on how to book your time slot.

Please use only UCT credentials (your UCT student number/UCT email address) and not Gmail to log in to the FYCR booking system. Carefully read all the communications you have received. Students with firm academic offers will not be turned away.

For further information about the FYCR, email Edwina Brooks.

We also encourage you to read through the Campus Life 2024 publication when it goes live on 27 January, as it contains useful information and guidelines on how you can navigate life on campus and in the surrounding areas.
