Depending on the system you are using, this may include:
- Student or reference number
- South African ID number
- Passport number for international applicants
- Application login details
UL notes that applicants receive a reference or student number after successfully submitting an online application. Keep this information safe because it can be important when tracking your application.
What Does Your University of Limpopo Application Status Mean?
Your application may go through several stages before the university makes a final decision.
The exact wording displayed on the UL portal may vary, but applicants may encounter statuses indicating that an application is being processed, requires further action or has received an admission decision.
Application Received
This generally means your application has been submitted and received by the university.
It does not necessarily mean you have been accepted.
Your application may still need to be evaluated.
Application Under Consideration
If your application is under consideration, UL is still assessing it.
A final admission decision may not yet have been made.
Continue checking the application portal for updates.
Outstanding Documents or Information
If UL requires additional information or documents, your application may not be finalised until the requested information is provided.
Check your portal and official communication carefully and submit anything requested through the correct channel.
Provisionally Accepted
A provisional admission outcome may mean that you currently meet certain requirements but still need to satisfy additional conditions.
For applicants completing Grade 12, this could include meeting the required final matric results.
Accepted or Admitted
If your status indicates that you have been admitted, congratulations.
Carefully read all instructions accompanying the admission outcome.
You may still need to complete additional processes before registration.
Unsuccessful
An unsuccessful outcome generally means that you have not been offered admission for that particular programme.
Admission decisions can depend on programme requirements, academic results, selection criteria and available spaces.

University of Limpopo Residence Applications for 2027
Applicants who require university accommodation should remember that academic admission and residence applications are separate processes.
For the 2027 academic year, UL has announced a residence application deadline of 30 September 2026.
Being academically admitted does not automatically guarantee university accommodation.
Applicants who need residence should follow UL’s official residence application process and submit their application before the applicable deadline.
What If Your UL Status Has Not Changed?
Do not assume that an unchanged status means your application has been rejected.
Applications need to be assessed before final admission decisions can be made.
Continue checking the official portal periodically and monitor your email for communication from UL.
Avoid submitting another application simply because your existing status has not changed unless the university specifically instructs you to do so.
