FIRST YEAR STUDENTS REGISTRATION

Be sure to get geared and ready for the 2025 academic year by registering on SPU’s Integrated Tertiary Software (ITS) Student iEnabler System. A guideline to online registration can be downloaded here.

To use the ITS Student iEnabler System for registration, the user (Returning/First Year Student) must have a valid student number, email address and a unique five-digit pin (which is sent to the student’s email address, in an automated fashion, by the system).

Login details are as follows:

Username: student number

Password: unique five-digit pin (if students have forgotten their pin, they can select the “forgot pin” button and the system will route it to their email address, captured on the system)

Students registering on-campus must refer to the Schedule For Registration 2025 which details registration dates, times and venues.

First Year Students should:

a) have completed the National Senior Certificate or equivalent;

b) have submitted an online application to study at SPU and be eligible for registration in terms of the minimum requirements for the respective programme applied for and have submitted all required documentation during the application process;

c) have received a firm offer (via email shortly after the release of the matriculation results) to register for the 2025 academic year;

d) have accepted the firm offer by email to the email address on the firm offer letter, if they wish to register;

e) check their status on the Student iEnabler System if you have been waitlisted, and, if so, wait to be informed of the final decision and not contact the University until confirmation has been received via email/sms;

f) register your modules, as follows:

• as they appear on the online registration page (if you have a fixed curriculum);
• for core modules only (if you are not certain about your curriculum, as electives can be added later).

g) Ensure that they opened a bank account into which allowances can be paid. The bank account details must be captured on the Student iEnabler System during orientation. Students need to refer to the Update of Banking Details Guideline document.
