Once you submit your NSFAS application, it's important to track its progress by regularly checking your NSFAS status. If your application shows a ‘Duplicate’ status, this may be confusing at first.
If you’ve encountered this message, you’re not alone. In this article, we’ll explain what this status means and what steps you should take if it appears.
'Duplicate' NSFAS Status Meaning
When the 'Duplicate' status appears on your NSFAS application, it indicates that a duplicate application has been submitted for the same cycle. NSFAS’s system flags this because it only allows one unique application per applicant each academic year.
To address this, log into your account on the myNSFAS portal and check if there is more than one application listed on your profile. Make sure your personal information—such as ID number, contact details, and email—is consistent across all NSFAS submissions.
If you’re unable to identify the cause of the issue, contact NSFAS by email for assistance.
Applicants are encouraged to regularly check their NSFAS status to stay up-to-date on the progress of their application.
