How to schedule an Appointment and Sign your
Loan Agreement Form
For your convenience we have reconstructed the appointment system. Please make sure that you
have already registered before you continue with the new appointment system. Before you can
schedule an appointment you have to give account of your costs for 2013. This is done by selecting
the relevant information from our drop down menus.
Please go to our Student Portal and log in with your credentials. You can only make an appointment
once and you can only make the appointment for yourself and not for any other student. You will
only be allowed to make an appointment if you are a NSFAS approved student for 2013. Should you
be able to make an appointment and sing a loan agreement with NSFAS when you are not an
approved NSFAS student, the University Of Johannesburg reserves the right to cancel your loan
agreement and you will be responsible for your own fees in 2013.
This document will help you to firstly select your Accommodation for the year (if any), as well as
your Books allocation and your Tuition. If you are a Final Year student for the first time, you will be
able to select a Meals allocation.
Secondly, only after you have checked your personal detail and selected and submitted your
allocations for this year, you will be able to schedule your appointment to sign your Loan Agreement
Form (LAF)
Please read through this document carefully that you can familiarize yourself with our new system.
It is advisable that you print this document if you can so that it makes the appointment process
more effective for you.

difference between your previous and current deposit will be deducted.

option.
