What is registration?

Registration is the process through which you officially become a student at Rhodes University.

As a student, you must register each year, so that we have a record of your progress. You need to complete this process as soon as you arrive at Rhodes, preferably on Saturday 2nd February, but also on Sunday 3rd February. Before you can complete this registration, you need to have paid your Minimal Initial Payment (MIP) or, in the case of international students, your full fees. This to be done by the date given, normally early in January. After registration, you will get a student card, with your photograph and student number, which you will need to keep handy from then on.

• Your administrative registration ensures that the University has an up-to-date record of all your personal details, such as your home address, local Grahamstown address, medical aid, car registration etc. We also take a photograph of you for our records, which appears on your student card.
