Once you submit your NSFAS application, it's important for you to keep up with it's progress by doing a NSFAS status check. When your NSFAS application shows a ‘Duplicate’ status, it might be confusing.
If you've encountered this message, you’re not alone. In this article, we dive into what this means and what steps you should take after this.
'Duplicate' NSFAS Status Meaning
If you see this NSFAS status when checking your NSFAS application progress, it means that a duplicate application was submitted for the same cycle. NSFAS’s system flags this situation because it expects a single, unique application per applicant for each academic year.
If you have this issue, log into your NSFAS portal and check if more than one application appears in your profile. Ensure that your information, such as ID number, contact details, and email, is consistent across any NSFAS submissions.
If you're unable to identify the cause, send NSFAS an email so that they can assist you.
Applicants are urged to continuously check their NSFAS status to keep up-to-date with the progress of their NSFAS application.
