PeopleSoft

PeopleSoft is the self-service student administration platform where you can keep track of all admin related to your studies at UCT. You can check your application status and current enrolments, access your student results, get an unofficial academic transcript and check your fee account among other things. PeopleSoft is also used for all student administration, and increasingly for postgraduate funding award administration and postgraduate research administration.

Make sure your PeopleSoft account is updated with the correct contact information, bank account information and course registrations, as these are crucial for staff to contact you and for funding awards (including refunds) to be processed if necessary.
