The UFH iEnabler
UFH's online application portal is its ITS iEnabler at ienabler.ufh.ac.za, linked as "Apply Now" and "Online Services" on ufh.ac.za. Applicants who have never applied to UFH use "Apply Here". Applicants who already applied and received a reference or student number must use the "Registered Users" login.
What you do on the portal:
- • Create your application and your student PIN
- • Pay the R120 application fee through PayGate
- • Upload your documents as separate PDFs
- • Choose up to two academic programmes
- • Log back in to track your application status
Documents UFH Asks For
UFH lists these as compulsory documents, each uploaded as a separate PDF attachment. If your status shows that something is outstanding, upload it as soon as possible.
- • Proof of payment of the application fee
- • Certified copy of your ID
- • Certified National Senior Certificate, or certified Grade 12 mid-year / June results
- • Signed guardian consent form if you are under 18

What the outcome can look like: UFH does not publish a list of the status labels shown on its portal. It does say that applicants who apply with Grade 12 mid-year or June results "may be admitted conditionally", pending their final National Senior Certificate results. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee a place, so check the minimum admission requirements and the APS calculator before you rely on an offer.

UFH says you can track your application status by logging into its application portal, and that you should check it regularly for updates.
Can I check my UFH status with my ID number?
