TUT email address for admission enquiries
TUT’s first-year enrolment guide gives the Contact Centre on 086 110 2421 and general@tut.ac.za as the contacts for prospective students, and the same number and address appear in the footer of every page on tut.ac.za. TUT does not publish a separate admissions mailbox. Applications are made online: first-year applications for the 2027 academic year opened on 1 April 2026, and the application fee is R240, paid once and non-refundable, deposited at ABSA account 04 000 000 3 with your ID number as the reference. You need a certified copy of your ID and of your National Senior Certificate, or your final Grade 11 results if you are in Grade 12. TUT warns that a programme may close when it is full, even before its deadline.
To check your admission status, go to www.tut.ac.za, click “Study@TUT”, then “Check Your Status”, and enter your ID number. Your status and any letter are shown on screen. TUT’s website also carries a warning to beware of application and registration scams, so apply only through TUT’s own site.

Tuition and residence fees can be paid into the ABSA student account, account holder Tshwane University of Technology, branch Church Street West, branch code 632005, account number 405 314 2603, with your registered student number as the reference. The guide also lists a Standard Bank student account (West End branch, code 01 03 45, account 011 414 154) with the same reference. Check the current guide before paying, because TUT notes that the information is subject to change.
