Title: No response to my course enquiry after sending my documents About a month ago I emailed Durban University of Technology to enquire about Somatology. Weeks later, they asked me to send my academic report, and I did so on 9 September 2026. Since then I have received no response, no confirmation that my documents were received, and no update on my enquiry. I have followed up by email with no reply. I am a prospective student and this lack of communication is making it impossible to plan my studies. I would like someone to confirm receipt of my academic report and tell me the status of my enquiry.

Horrible institution
I am trying to get a clearance note from DUT with no success despite my tuition fees being fully paid up since 2025. My student number is ***3. The staff ignores emails. Please elevate this concern on my behalf.

Disappointed parent
I am very disappointed with the registration process at DUT. My son is doing final year in Tourism management, he tried to register the only subject that is missing so that he can finish his diploma but the system doesn't allow him to register. He is been going up and down the the campus and they keep on saying they will inform him once the system in sorted. Now I understand why there is so much of students committing suicide in DUT. I trusted the institution but it is now a shame

DUT
I'm writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with my experience regarding an application for fashion design. A student was called for an entry test and interview, which were accommodated on the same day due to travel constraints. Despite attending both, the application was declined citing non-attendance – a clear error on the university's part. We have evidence of attendance. The lack of follow-up on calls, emails, and non-updated systems has made this process unnecessarily stressful. I hope you'll address these issues to improve student experience.

Serious Concern Regarding Residence Allocation and Lack of Assistance
A student registered on Monday. She was informed that she must wait to be allocated a residence. To date, there has been no clear communication or indication of when this allocation will take place. It has now been three days since the student registered, and she has been sitting at the sports centre daily without any guidance or assistance regarding residence allocation. No timelines are provided, and no one seems able or willing to give proper information. Furthermore, students wait at the institution for the entire day due to “system issues,” only to be told at the end of the day to return home without being assisted. This happens repeatedly. Even at this moment, students are standing in long queues seeking help, yet no one is providing information or offering assistance. This situation is extremely frustrating, time-consuming, and frankly disgusting. The institution presents itself on social media as if everything is under control, which is far from the reality students are experiencing on the ground. What makes this even more upsetting is that a student who arrived yesterday has already received assistance simply because they know someone within the institution. Why is it so difficult for a child to receive basic assistance when physically present at the institution and following the correct processes? This entire experience is unacceptable.
