Tshwane University of Technology: Avoid like the plague!

I would start off by staying the review of this "institution" deserves a "0 star" rating. While reading through reviews today, it prompted me to urge anyone wishing to study at Tshwane University of Technology to please look ANYWHERE ELSE! The current and aftercare support of students is completely non-existent.

I have been in contact with TUT for months for copies of my academic records. I need these documents to study further for an MBA. TUT asks for an upfront fee of R600 before they will even attempt to lift a finger. Anyone reading this will know that they don't answer emails, don't answer phones and are always on leave and on lunch. IF you are one of the lucky ones to get through, you are greeted with *****ly staff who are "knocking off" or the line suddenly goes dead. If you attempt to call again the line will be unavailable for the rest of the day.

So I've tried in vain to contact a human and not just pay over R600 in the hopes that the money would spur someone to actually give me my academic records. That would be like thinking paying the water and lights would prevent loadshedding ( ;-) ) Anyway, no human is readily available, and even if there was - they don't care.

And this isn't just student management services! Oh no! That would be too easy. Entire departments are just there. Empty shells of what they used to be. Email the Dean. Nothing. Email the Dean's assistant. Same thing.

Take your time, your money and your future; elsewhere.
