The University of Johannesburg warns all applicants not to fall victim to people trying to scam them out of money by promising admission or a study space at the University of Johannesburg. Do not trust anyone promising to assist you in return for a fee. Admissions to the University are based on academic merit alone.
If you encounter any such suspicious activity, please report the incident to the UJ ethics hotline at uj@thehotline.co.za
