Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU) was established by the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande. The university aims to provide a comprehensive range of qualifications across a broad range of Health Sciences fields.
Registration is run by a multi-disciplinary Registration Task team of the university that is put together by the Office of the Registrar. The Task Team consists of representatives from the five Schools, the finance department, residences, safety and security, Institutional Support Department, ICT, and IPD.
The university has separate registration processes for first-time entering students and returning students. Here is how the following students may register:
First-Time Entering Students
Students may register online using the self-help portal, iEnabler, or make use of the on-campus registration facilities. Students are expected to use their own devices, such as cellphones, tablets, or laptops, to register.
