The CPUT OPA Registration is an online process that allows you to apply to Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. It is an easy way to get started with your application before the main admission process begins.

If you are applying for a degree, diploma, or certificate, the OPA system lets you complete your registration, upload necessary documents, and track the progress of your application, all in one place. This ensures your application goes to the right department smoothly with little or no stress at all.

After submitting your application through OPA, you can monitor its status and receive updates on things like deadlines, interviews, or if more documents are needed. The goal of the OPA system is to make applying to CPUT simpler and more convenient, helping you stay on top of everything throughout the admission process.
