About Sol Plaatje University
- In 2014, the Sol Plaatje University, formerly known as the University of the Northern Cape, opened in Kimberley, South Africa, with a modest starting enrollment of 135 students.
- By 2024, the student complement is planned to rise gradually, reaching a goal of 7 500 students. It was formally formed as a public university in line with Section 20 of the Higher Education Act of 1997, by way of Government Notice 630, dated 22 August 2013, and launched in a ceremony in Kimberley on 19 September 2013. B lade Nzimande, the Minister of Higher Education and Training, said at the opening that this “is the first new university (in South Africa) to be inaugurated since 1994, and as such is a tremendous symbol of the country’s democracy, inclusiveness, and growth.” It symbolizes a new epoch in African thought, centered on innovation and quality.” On July 25, the university’s name was already announced.
- President Jacob Zuma emphasized the growth of academic specialist areas that did not exist elsewhere in South Africa or were under-represented there on July 25, 2013. “Given the rich heritage of Kimberley and the Northern Cape in general,” Zuma stated, “it is anticipated that Sol Plaatje would specialize in heritage studies, which will include interconnected academic subjects like museum management, archaeology, indigenous languages, and restoration architecture.” Prof Andrew Crouch took over as Vice-Chancellor on April 1, 2020, when Prof Yunus Ballim’s term as founding Vice-Chancellor came to an end.

- The Sol Plaatje University (SPU) administration has launched the student registration portal for new and returning students to register for semester courses at the diploma, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels. For both registration and the closure of the registration portal, certain dates and deadlines have been defined. It is recommended that you register early in order to avoid losing your SPU studentship, as late registration is not accepted.
- The registration deadline, often known as the closing date, is a deadline set by the institution for registering courses and modules for the semester. The submission deadline for South African schools (universities and colleges) is normally 2 weeks to 1 month after the student registration site opens.
The following dates will be used to register students for the upcoming academic year:
