Yes - 1,247 programmes are still open.

Sometimes. Some institutions open a late-application window if they still have space, often with a higher fee. Check the official site for the specific programme - AskSmarty shows the published closing date, but only the institution can confirm a late window.

Look at programmes with a later intake (some have a mid-year Term 2/3 start), consider a Higher Certificate as a bridging route, or UNISA's distance programmes which often have a longer window. Re-run the calculator with 'Open only' to see live options.

Dates are drawn from each institution's official prospectus and updated 19 Sept 2026. Where a programme's data is from an earlier cycle, the card shows a provenance note. Always confirm on the official source.
