to CPUT

Prof Chris Nhlapo VICE-CHANCELLOR

You worked hard to complete your secondary schooling. Your hard work is rewarded as you enter the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) as a student in tertiary education, ready to embark on a new journey of education and empowerment.

Exciting as this may be, it may be equally intimidating. The CPUT community welcomes you and assures you that your journey is starting in the right place. To reassure you, we want to share our vision and values of ONENESS and SMARTNESS. ONENESS implies that you now form part of the CPUT community – where together, we are one. The three U’s: Ubunye (unity), Ukungafani (diversity), Ubuntu, tell you that we ascribe to an African philosophy of “ukuhamba unxibe izihlangu zomnye umntu” – to walk in someone else’s shoes.

SMARTNESS infers that we revel in a culture of learning by doing, and our strategies are focused on technological developments and innovations. We strive to make a better world through education, research, and technological innovation. Your education is why you are here, and education is our business – and we benefit from you reaching your full potential. The vast academic, support and development activities at CPUT are here to guide and enrich your journey to great success.

I wish you well for the journey ahead and believe that together we can achieve great success. May your time at CPUT be rewarding and empowering as you step into student life.

A student must inform the University of their pregnancy by no later than 22 weeks of gestation to ensure that the necessary support can be put in place for the student. If a student is studying a programme with a higher-than-normal risk, then they must inform the University immediately.

How long can I attend classes when I’m pregnant?

At 32 weeks gestation a pregnant student should stop on-campus class attendance and may no longer sit for formal examinations.
