    PRE-REGISTRATION INFORMATION

    Acceptance of offer to study at CPUT

    It is important that you confirm your acceptance of the study offer made to you as soon as
    possible, to secure your place. For academic acceptance, a deposit of R2 200.00 is payable
    within four weeks of receipt of a letter of acceptance. Once payment has been made, return
    the acceptance form together with proof of payment to the address indicated on the form.

    Study or asylum seeker permit
    International students must apply for a CPUT study permit/student visa before leaving the
    country of origin. Without a study permit, you will be refused entry into South Africa and CPUT
    may not register you as a student. A study permit is a statutory requirement and is issued for
    specific institutions. Students that are currently studying in other institutions in South Africa,
    may approach Home Affairs Offices to change their permits.
    A letter of undertaking should be in your acceptance package. This letter is issued by the
    Office of International Affairs and is to be presented to the local South African Embassy/High
    Commission or Consulate when you apply for your study permit/student visa. Please contact
    the Office immediately should you not have received the letter.

    To apply for a study permit, you will need:
    ¥ A valid passport (valid for a period exceeding the length of your proposed study abroad).
       Your passport must also have sufficient blank pages for stamping.
    ¥ A letter of acceptance from CPUT
    ¥ A letter of undertaking issued by the OIA at CPUT
    ¥ Proof of sufficient funds to cover all your costs in South Africa
    ¥ A deposit for repatriation guarantee
    ¥ A return plane ticket
    ¥ Money for the costs of study permit
    ¥ A legal guardian in South Africa may have to be appointed for students under the age of
       21 years
    ¥ A police clearance for students over the age of 21 years may also be required.
    ¥ Proof of medical insurance/cover that is valid in South Africa.

    Renewal of Study Permits and Medical Cover
    Law requires all International Students to ensure that their study permits and medical cover
    are valid at all times for the duration of their studies. A study permit must be renewed 30 days
    prior to expiry and there is a fee payable. Currently it is R425.00

    Academic Performance
    Home Affairs requires reports on academic progress on each student. You are therefore
    warned that failure to achieve satisfactory progress may lead to you expulsion in South Africa.

                                         GUIDE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS 2010




In such a case, you will forfeit your repatriation deposit.

Report to the nearest South African Police Services to make an affidavit and thereafter con-
tact your Embassy or Diplomatic Representative to apply for a new passport.

     CAPE PENINSULA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY




    Students from African countries are required to pay the international levy of R1 400.00, which
    is payable on acceptance.

    Medical Insurance
    In terms of the South African law (Immigration Act 19 of 2004), all international students who
    come to study in South Africa must have proof of medical insurance cover with a medical
    scheme registered in South Africa, in terms of the Medical Schemes Act, 131 of 1998.
    The CPUT has tried to make this easier for you .We have contracted a service provider,
    Pinnacle Health Solutions (Pinnacle), to help you get the type of medical aid product which will
    qualify.
    Note: not all medical insurance will qualify and you must be very sure before you buy any form
    of medical insurance. The CPUT will not hesitate to reject your medical insurance if it does not
    qualify, and you will then not be registered as a student. You will need to buy new cover and
    will thus have to spend extra money.
    Please make absolutely sure that the cover you buy is correct, or you will be wasting your
    money. Contact Pinnacle for help at:+27 ( 0) 21 425 9863. or fkinnear@pinnhealth.co.za.
    The cost of medical insurance will be about R3 588 per year, and this will cover you for your
    full academic year .We have preselected two medical insurance schemes with which Pinnacle
    will help you.
    1. Protea Medical Scheme, Tel +27 21 552 7111
    2. Ingwe Medical Scheme, Tel +27 08 6010 2493
    Please contact Pinnacle if you are uncertain. The CPUT will make no exceptions and will cer-
    tainly accept only the correct medical insurance.

    Pinnacle Health Solutions is the University s appointed consultant and service provider. They
    will assist students with information, advice, as well as the application and registration process
    with regard to medical cover. This service is free of charge. Pinnacle has dedicated consult-

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
•   COMMUNICATION FROM THE OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Students are urged to check their University e-mail regularly as this is the most effective way
for the Office of International Affairs to communicate any events or information affecting inter-
national students. After registration students can contact the ICTS department regarding the
process of accessing e-mail messages. Student e-mail addresses will be Student
number @cput.ac.za, e.g. 207000000@cput.ac.za.

•   MONEY MATTERS
The South African currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is equal to 100 Cents (R1 = 100 cents).
Value Added Tax is levied on most goods and services. Prices of goods will indicate if the item
is vat inclusive (already added) or vat exclusive. International students can claim for a VAT
refund if the goods that are purchased are taken out of the country within 12 months of the
date of purchase (receipts and invoices must be kept).

•   OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT
Students are discouraged from keeping large sums of money in their possession or in resi-
dence rooms - you do so at your own risk. You may open a bank account at a local bank,
which will then issue with you a bankcard for cash withdrawals from Auto teller/auto bank
machines (ATMs). ABSA, First National Bank, Nedbank and the Standard Bank have ATMs in
the Student Centre on the main campus.

•   DRIVING IN SOUTH AFRICA
In South Africa, we drive on the left-hand side of the road. You have to be 18 years of age to
legally drive a car. An International Drivers Licence or one from your home country if it is in
English can be used in South Africa. There is zero-tolerance for drunken and reckless driving.
Heavy penalties, jail sentences or confiscation of the licence could all be imposed.

•   HEALTH ISSUES
Cape Town region is not a malaria or any other tropical disease infected area. But if you decide
to travel to other areas, especially to the far north, please consult with Student Health Services
regarding appropriate vaccination. It is also important that students eat nutritionally balanced
food and regularly exercise to keep healthy all the time.
The HIV/Aids pandemic is a world-wide problem and may cause premature death to those
infected. Students are warned to fully inform themselves about remaining negative by attend-
ing awareness campaigns and information sessions. As our Institution does not discriminate
against those who are infected, the HIV/Aids Support Office exists on Campus to offer all
forms of support. A health clinic is also at your service.




                                                                                                     11
         CAPE PENINSULA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY




     •    VACATION EMPLOYMENT AND IN-SERVICE TRAINING
     1.    Holders of a valid study permit may conduct part-time work for hours not exceed-
           ing 20 hours per week, provided that this limitation shall not apply during academ-
           ic vacation periods. A student needs to furnish the OIA with a letter of offer from
           an employer and a letter consenting to employment shall then be granted.
           (Regulation 22(6) of Section 13(3)(a) of the Immigration Act, 13 of 2002).
     2.    Students are also allowed to conduct work in the form of practical training in the
           field related to his/her studies, on submission of
           (a) a letter confirming that practical training is a requirement for fulfiling academic
           requirements
           (b) a letter from a prospective employer. (Regulation 22(7) of Section 13(3)(c) of
           the Immigration Act, 13 of 2002).

     •    SAFETY ISSUES
     Exercise caution at all times and ensure that you avoid unsafe areas as well as traveling
     alone at night. Some tips: always keep your valuables locked away; avoid carrying large
     sums of money; do not display valuable items such as cameras, expensive jewellery, etc.

     •    PERSONAL INSURANCE
     Please insure all your belongings at any insurance broker. CPUT shall not be responsi-
     ble for the loss of any item.
