The Central Applications Clearing House (CACH) service provides an opportunity to learners who have not yet received a place to study at a post-school higher education institution.

The CACH service is FREE and aims to match applicants' National Senior Certificate exam results (which is received directly from the Department of Basic Education) and study preferences with places that need to be filled. This service guarantees that applicant data will be made available to all possible institutions in the PSET system. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be offered a place

Universities and colleges do not accept 'walk in' applications.

Register online on the CACH website or contact the CACH service from January to March between 8h00 and 16h00 on 0800 690 722; Monday to Friday excluding Public Holidays
