The Central Applications Clearing House (CACH) 2025 application period is officially open. This crucial service, provided by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), assists South African students who were unsuccessful in securing placement at their preferred institutions during the initial application cycle.
Who can use CACH?
- Students who applied on time but received no offers.
- Students who now qualify for placement based on their final Grade 12 results.
CACH offers a valuable second chance for students to explore and apply for available spaces at various South African institutions. By centralizing the application process, CACH significantly increases the likelihood of students finding suitable education or training programs.
CACH 2025 Application Deadline
The CACH application period will close on 31 March 2025. Students are strongly encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible to maximize their chances of placement.
How CACH Can Help You
- Free of Charge: This government service is entirely free for both students and participating institutions.
- No Guarantees: While CACH facilitates the connection between students and institutions, it does not guarantee placement. The final selection of students rests with the individual institutions.
- Matric Results Integration: CACH automatically receives matric results from the Department of Basic Education, eliminating the need for students to submit additional documents.
