2.2.3 Even when applying via the app you will have to upload your supporting documents
online at our website: www.cao.ac.za
2.2.4 See payment options at 'Online Applications'
on page 25.
3. Complete a Hard-copy Application Form
This is the least efficient option. Hardcopy applications may take up to 2-3 weeks to process after CAO receives them with the administration fee.
3.1 Handbooks and Application Forms are posted to your school. Find out from your principal and LO teacher. This application material should reach your school during March.
3.2 Handbooks and Application Forms are also available from the four universities in KZN and from the DBE District Offices. Find out from your principal and LO teacher if they have collected your school’s package.
3.3 Some Libraries also have the Handbooks.
3.4 Send completed hard-copy Application Forms to us by:
3.4.1 Emailing it to: formsreceivedcao@cao.ac.za
3.4.2 Posting it to Private Bag X06, Dalbridge, 4014
3.4.3 Hand delivering it to: CAO, Gate 11, Mary Thiphe Street (previously Cato Manor Road), Durban (Office Hours: 08:00-16:30 Monday to Friday).*
If you apply by completing a hard-copy Application Form, your application takes at least two to three weeks to process after we receive your completed Application Form and administration fee. Only then the institutions to which you have applied will have access to it. We also have no control over how long the Post Office takes to deliver your completed Application Form to us.
Applications for 2023 entry open on 1 March 2022! Don’t delay – apply as soon as possible after 1 March. The sooner you apply, the sooner your application will be considered.
* DISCLAIMER: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the CAO is not open for face-to-face engagements until further notice. Please check our website www.cao.ac.za for updates.
