IAPO services: Pre-registration requirements
All international students are required to go through a pre-registration process with IAPO, BEFORE faculty registration. International students cannot register with their faculties without clearance from IAPO.
For pre-registration, you need to produce your passport with your valid study permit, proof of medical insurance/aid and proof of payment of your fees. IAPO will then clear you for your faculty registration.
International students' pre-registration usually takes place at IAPO. We encourage you to complete the process as early as possible. Academic registration dates are set per faculty. Please contact your respective faculty directly for more information regarding your registration date(s).
Proof of medical insurance is a condition for pre-registration and registration. IAPO recommends that students choose the INGWE Health or Prosperity Health options. Application forms for these providers are available at the IAPO offices or on the following websites
Should you have an alternative provider from your home country, please ensure that your provider of choice will cover your medical expenses while in South Africa.
