CPUT Contact Details
The CPUT contact number for admin, applications and registration queries is 021 959 6393, the admissions email is Admissions@cput.ac.za and the general email is info@cput.ac.za. CPUT publishes no separate contact for a registrar and records department. That work sits under Applications, Admissions and Registration Enquiries, which lists six numbers, the first being 021 959 6393. The general university address is info@cput.ac.za. We read this on cput.ac.za on 24 and 26 September 2026.

Six numbers for one function is unusual, and it is good news: if one is engaged, work down the list rather than waiting. All six are published as equivalent contacts for the same enquiries.
Note that the numbers split across two dialling blocks. The 021 959 numbers sit on the Bellville exchange and the 021 460 numbers on the District Six side, so the list spans both main campuses.
This is the route for proof of registration, admission status and registration problems. CPUT does not publish a dedicated records office phone line. For academic records and transcripts, use the Assessment and Graduation Centre email below.
The university also runs a call centre, but the email address behind it is obscured on the page by anti-spam scripting and does not display as readable text.
CPUT admin and administration contact details
For admin queries about applications, use the Admissions and Registrations Centre (ARC) at Admissions@cput.ac.za. It handles application status, online application submissions, programmes still open for applications, acceptance letters and incomplete applications. Apply on the online application portal (OPA) at opa.cput.ac.za. For registration queries by phone, call 021 959 6393. CPUT’s Enquiries: Contact Details page also lists ARC officers per campus and administrators per faculty.
CPUT finance department and accounts contact details

CPUT student portal, student email and help desk
CPUT links its online application portal (opa.cput.ac.za), Student Email and Myclassroom / Blackboard (myclassroom.cput.ac.za) from its website footer. CPUT’s contact and enquiries pages publish no IT help desk number or email address: the “Helpdesk” entries on the enquiries page are for the Financial Aid helpdesk. If you cannot access your account, use the general email info@cput.ac.za.

CPUT postal code and campus locations
CPUT’s campuses are Bellville, District Six, Granger Bay, Mowbray and Wellington, plus satellites at Groote Schuur Hospital, Newlands and the Roeland Street Building. The Bellville campus is on Symphony Way, off Robert Sobukwe Road, with postal code 7535 (PO Box 1906, Bellville, 7535).
CPUT Wellington campus location, courses and residence

It offers courses in the Faculties of Applied Science and Business and Management Sciences, and is one of two campuses where Education is taught; its undergraduate Education programmes are offered in Afrikaans. Bellville and Wellington residence queries go to ResidenceB@cput.ac.za.
CPUT Mowbray campus contact details and Bachelor of Education enquiries
The Mowbray campus is on Highbury Road, Mowbray (PO Box 652, Cape Town, 8000). District Six and Mowbray residence queries go to ResidenceC@cput.ac.za. Faculty of Education enquiries are split by campus (Wellington and Mowbray) and by programme (B Ed Foundation Phase, Intermediate Phase, Senior Phase and FET, Grade R and Honours) on CPUT’s Enquiries: Contact Details page, each with its own administrator.
CPUT also runs three satellite sites with their own numbers: Groote Schuur Hospital on 021 442 6160, Newlands on 021 680 1680 at the Wicket Building, floors 3 and 4, Newlands Cricket Ground, 146 Campground Road, and the Roeland Street Building on 021 469 1000.
CPUT campus security and after-hours control rooms
| Campus | Security | Protection Services control room |
|---|---|---|
| Bellville | 021 959 6550 | 078 561 2712 |
| District Six | 021 460 3211, 021 460 3631 | 078 563 0021 |
| Granger Bay | 021 440 5726, 021 440 5735 | 083 322 4526 |
| Mowbray | 021 680 1582 | 073 251 7088 |
| Wellington | 021 959 5551 | 083 322 1662 |
| Newlands | 021 657 2004 | Not published |
The control room numbers are mobiles, which matters after hours when a campus landline may not be answered. Bellville and Wellington share the same control room number, 078 561 2712.
One CPUT emergency number does not dial
This is worth flagging because it sits on an emergency contacts list, where a wrong number costs the most.
Under Ambulance, CPUT lists the state ambulance service as 10177, which is correct. Beside it, it lists a private ambulance service against a number written as “086 82 911”, and the click-to-call link behind it contains eight digits.
A South African telephone number has ten digits. An eight-digit number will not connect, so that entry cannot be dialled as published. We have not substituted a corrected number, because we could not verify the intended one from that provider’s own website.
In a real emergency use the numbers that always work: 10177 for an ambulance, 10111 for police, which CPUT also publishes as the Flying Squad number, or 112 from any mobile phone. On campus, the Protection Services control room numbers above reach someone who can direct help to the right building.
CPUT campus clinics and student counselling
| Campus | Campus clinic | Student counselling |
|---|---|---|
| Bellville | 021 959 6403 | 021 959 6182 |
| Cape Town | 021 460 3613, 021 460 3405 | 021 460 3237 |
| Mowbray | 021 680 1555 | 021 680 1574 |
| Wellington | 021 864 5278 | 021 864 5206 |
These are separate services. The clinic is for physical health; student counselling is for psychological support. Both are campus-specific, so use the number for the campus you are registered at.
The local police station numbers CPUT publishes alongside these are for the stations covering each campus, and are worth noting if you need to open a case relating to something that happened on or near campus.
