UJ call centre, email and WhatsApp for enquiries
UJ’s contact directory routes admission, alumni and general or study-related enquiries to the same UJ Call Centre number, 011 559 4555. This is the UJ landline to use for admin queries. To send an email to UJ about an application or admission, use mylife@uj.ac.za. The same admissions team lists the WhatsApp number +27 87 240 6854. Post can go to UJ Administration, University of Johannesburg, PO Box 524, Auckland Park, 2006.
The only admissions WhatsApp number UJ lists is +27 87 240 6854, so a WhatsApp number or group admin claiming to represent UJ admissions or student support is not one UJ publishes.
UJ’s contact directory does not list a separate legal department line or an “institution number”. For those, and for any query the routes above do not cover, call the UJ Call Centre on 011 559 4555.
Checking your UJ application status
To check your UJ application status, use the student portal at student.uj.ac.za. It asks for your student number or ID/passport number and verifies you by SA cellphone, work or home telephone, international cellphone or email. For admission questions about the enrolment process, call 011 559 4555 or email mylife@uj.ac.za.
UJ’s Student Enrolment Centre page could not be read, so SEC opening days (including whether it opens on Saturdays) and a separate mailbox for submitting documents are not confirmed here. Use the admissions routes above and ask the call centre before travelling to campus.
UJ student accounts, quotations and bursaries
UJ lists Student Finance by email only: studentaccounts@uj.ac.za. Use it for student account statements, financial quotations and refund questions; no separate refund office or bursary number is listed. See the UJ finance contact details page for more on student accounts, and the UJ NSFAS contact details page for NSFAS matters.

Choose your channel based on the help you need. General enquiries about admissions, registration, academic records and student administration go to the UJ Call Centre on 011 559 4555. Current students and applicants should first try the official UJ self-service portals (uLink) to check application statuses, download academic transcripts or update contact information without waiting in a queue. Queries about tuition fees, payment plans or funding must be handled through the university finance desks or verified student funding channels, and for immediate security, medical or safety concerns on any UJ campus, contact UJ Campus Health and Protection Services, which keeps 24/7 internal emergency numbers.
How to tell a real UJ contact from a scam
High demand for university placement and funding draws scammers, and most of the checks come down to the domain. Check that a website ends strictly in .ac.za (the official educational domain for South African universities) and that an email address ends in @uj.ac.za. Do not trust third-party blogs, direct download forms on external sites, unofficial social media groups offering “direct registration help”, unverified online directories, public classifieds or user-generated forums. Fraudsters frequently post fake helpline numbers online to intercept prospective students seeking urgent admission or housing support. Those checks protect prospective students, current students, alumni and parents alike: direct your query to the right channel, know which references and identity information to gather before you start, and log formal queries so you have a trail to escalate.
- Fake admission and registration scams: scammers claiming to be UJ officials who promise guaranteed placement, late application space or hostel accommodation in exchange for an upfront cash payment or “upfront fee”.
- Phishing and smishing: emails or SMS messages asking you to log into a non-official website to “verify your application” or “claim your NSFAS allowance”. See the NSFAS contact details page for the real routes.
- OTP and credential theft: no legitimate UJ official or support desk representative will ever ask for your uLink password, banking PIN or One-Time Pin (OTP).
- Fake WhatsApp helplines: the only admissions WhatsApp number UJ lists is +27 87 240 6854.
The University of Johannesburg will never ask you to pay application or registration fees into a personal bank account or via money transfer services such as eWallet or CashSend. Campus addresses should correspond to the officially listed UJ campus locations in Johannesburg above. If you suspect you have been targeted by a fake UJ agent or have shared sensitive details, change your student portal login credentials immediately, contact your bank if financial details were shared, and report the incident to UJ Protection Services or the South African Police Service (SAPS). A stolen credential or a shared password is worth acting on straight away, because a card or account left live cannot be un-spent.
Before calling any number or sending an email about UJ, have your student number or ID/passport number, your primary contact details, any relevant application reference numbers and a clear written summary of your query ready. Keep a log of written correspondence and reference numbers: if a standard channel does not respond, escalate the matter in writing to the relevant Faculty Head or Head of Department (HOD), quoting your initial reference details. ContactDetails.co.za is an independent reference guide and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an agent of the University of Johannesburg; it does not handle applications, process payments or resolve student queries directly.
