13. Will I be accepted if I pay now?
Your application will be made available to the institutions to which you have applied once the CAO
administration fees are paid in FULL. Although programmes have already closed and some are already full,
institutions to which you have applied may still consider your application. The institutions have full and final
responsibility for selection and admission decisions and ‘NOT THE CAO’.
Once the institutions have made a decision you will be notified. You can also check the progress of your
application on our website on www.cao.ac.za by clicking on the “Check My Application” link on the homepage
and entering either your CAO or ID number.
