Early Bird Registration Campaign

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION FEE DISCOUNT CAMPAIGN


As part of SANTS’ commitment to making quality education accessible, we are pleased to offer our Early Bird Registration Fee Discount Campaign for Semester 2, 2026. New applicants who pay their Application Fee and Registration Fee payments within the specified deadlines will qualify for a discount of up to R500 off their Registration Fee.

To accommodate different financial circumstances, flexible instalment payment options are also available, allowing applicants to spread their Registration Fee across two or three months while still qualifying for a discount. Additionally, all qualifying applicants will be entered into a draw to win one of four tablets in June 2026, with Early Bird participants receiving an additional entry. The following terms and conditions govern eligibility, payment deadlines, instalment arrangements, and the tablet draw.

Should you participate in the Early Bird Campaign, please note that the discount will be loaded as a credit onto your student account once you are enrolled for the July 2026 intake and billing has been loaded to your profile.

  • MARCH — R500 Early Bird Discount: Applicants who pay both the Application Fee and Registration Fee in full by 31 March 2026 will receive a R500 discount on their Registration Fee.
