NSFAS N+ Rule Enrollment appeals explained | How to appeal if reached N+ 1, N+2 & N+3 status?

[@kelebohiletsomela6142]

Good day Mr Mancoba. I am writing to you in regards to the NSFAS n+ rule that has affected me in the most cruesome way. I would like to have some clarity on the option that I have to choose for the NSFAS appeal. I studied at UFS from 2015 - 2018 due to being academically excluded by the institution then I studied at CUT last year in 2021 and it was the first time being funded by NSFAS last year at CUT. Now it shows the n+ rule on my NSFAS status. What do I have to do now my brother? It's really painful to be rejected and having no hope of ever turning your life around. 💔💔💔 I am currently an indigent and I have no financial support and no means of income. I did really well on my academic results the previous year and even obtained distinctions on almost all of my modules, in essence I passed them all. I feel really hopeless and frustrated at the thought of this encounter because I had aspirations and hopes that I would eventually turn my life around and change the situation at home. It is really devastating and depressing. I am slowly turning back in the dark hole I was in before I was granted the second opportunity to pursue my dreams and make my livelihood worthwhile.💔💔😢😭🙏🏿

Good morning I am sorry to hear this but I have explained in the video that NSFAS start counting from the years you studied whether you were funded or not by NSFAS. Do not put your hopes on NSFAS, apply for bursaries. You can visit this website for bursaries www.studentroom.co.za and choose the relevant bursary. Also visit the CUT website to see the available bursaries or funding that you can use www.cut.ac.za/fees-bursaries-and-loans

hi, i hope you well. can you make a video or explain how to fill up the N+ form

[@thubelihlengubane5703]

The letters that are needed from the institution to appeal, are they a form of academic record? Or it’s a formal letter with proof that it’s your final academic year to complete your qualification?

Am also affected by n+1 because in 2019 and 2020 I was very sick and couldn't cope with my studies I even had to be admitted to hospital now since it's 2022 appeals can I use those reasons

[@KhanyiNgcobo-iz5uz]

When you say less than 60 credits to complete the qualification do you mean for people who are doing their final year or anyone?

[@vatiswa1209]

When I tap the appeal option it says that I need proof that it will take me a year to complete my academic qualifications but sadly I cannot acquire that proof because it's going to take me longer than that. What can I do?

[@VIRGO-TL]

Do we need to upload motivational letter?

[@patriciamoos4642]

Hi I was funded for BA in 2016 then I changed courses at the same institution in 2017 to do LLB 4 year. It's 2022 and I am doing my final year ( 6th year) in LLb . Do I still fall within the N+2 rule or how does it work since I changed courses do I exceed the rule and can I appeal still because on the portal it does not give me an option to appeal. Please help

[@liahmtutumi6237]

I'm finding it difficult to upload my supporting appeal document that is needed it keeps saying " please re-upload missing document" what seems to be the problem? Is it because I need to also submit an appeal letter with the supporting document maybe? Please assist me on this. Thank you

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Please make sure your documents are not that bigger (>7 MB) and are pdfs not pictures.

[@afrocardo21]

Hello What about the students that did not receive a SMS ? If you applied late for NSFAS will they send an SMS LATE ?

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

When you say late, what do you mean? Was it after the closing date?

If you are deregistered by the institution can your appeal be considered?

[@zintleyvonne1733]

What time exactly does the appeal close NB: besides the date

[@thapelothapelo5186]

I have a problem, the reason I have on the appeal tab reason is not listed. Again I once appealed last year, and I would like to use those reasons again, a parent lost his job. Would that be reason enough again this time. Or a new reason is needed?

[@acepage194]

I am applying for a course at an institution and I meet the admission requirements for the course. Will I get accepted immediately for the course or will they accept me when I have received my new matric results? Before the course is full.

Which university?

[@surprisemoleele8004]

Good evening. My name is Surprise Moleele I'm a student at North West University Mafikeng campus studying BSc Mathematical sciences and applied mathematics. I was funded by NSFAS in my first year in 2021. My application was unsuccessful due to n+ rule. I was studying in university of Pretoria in 2015 before but I wasn't funded by NSFAS. Then I registered at a tshwane north college using NSFAS in 2019. Can I get clarification on this matter, that why my application was denied even after I was funded by NSFAS for a year? Please let me know as soon as possible

[@Flashdrive920]

Hi! Im trying to appeal and for me to do so, nsfas says i have to upload a letter of prosperity from my school but when i google what the letter is, google says its appropriate for N+ rule exceeded. I have not exceeded the N+ rule. i was doing my second year last year. Please help

This isn't fare, if they're willing to add one year, why would they say one has exceeded n+ rule.

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Good day all, I am not sure about the true story below. But remember that NSFAS fund students for max of 5 year ( 4 + 1 rule) and that was before. I heard that it has been reduced to max of 4 years now (3 + 1 rule) but you can confirm that with your institution or the nearest application centres. www.nsfas.org.za/content/appcentres.html

Hi hope your good since you said you upgraded did you apply nsfas like other people who didn't upgrade and what happens after like which documents do you submit to show that your upgrading and do you send them your combined results or what happens.

@aceynnative3460 hi When I upgraded in 2019, I only had to resubmit my mother's details. NSAFS already has the information that you have not enrolled at a higher institution, so you don't necessarily need proof to show them that you upgrading.
