AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, the University of Johannesburg is drawing significant frustration around its administrative and financial services. Customers consistently mention long delays in processing refunds, difficulty obtaining transcripts and verification letters, and unanswered phones and emails from call centre and finance teams. A recurring theme is the impact these bottlenecks have on students' careers, registrations, and further studies. On a more positive note, individual staff members in enrolment have been singled out for genuinely attentive, patient, and caring support, suggesting service quality varies sharply by department.

UJ refuses to assist alumnus with crucial documentation for SACE registration
I am writing this review out of complete desperation and frustration with the administrative services at the University of Johannesburg (UJ). I am a graduate of UJ, having completed both a National Higher Certificate (240 credits) and a National Diploma (120 credits). For my registration with SACE (South African Council for Educators), I need to prove that my studies total 360 credits. UJ holds the records confirming this, yet the Registrar's office refuses to issue a simple letter on university letterhead confirming this total. Instead, they are forcing me to pay an additional R688 to SAQA to verify documents that UJ already has in their possession. This administrative bottleneck is preventing me from obtaining my professional educator certificate, directly hindering my career progression and livelihood. It is unacceptable for UJ to refuse to help its own alumni with documentation they hold, forcing unnecessary expenses on us. I am pleading with UJ management to resolve this issue and provide the necessary verification letter immediately.

Administrative Failures Blocking Academic Progress
I am extremely disappointed with the administrative processes at the University of Johannesburg. I have been requesting my academic transcript since last year, as I need it to further my studies, and this matter remains unresolved to date. Initially, I was informed that I owed outstanding fees. I was later told that I did not owe anything. Now, in 2026, I have been informed that I owe R30 to access my transcript. Despite this, when I requested the bank details to make the payment, I received no response. Due to these ongoing inconsistencies and lack of communication, I have been unable to progress with my studies. It is unacceptable that such a minor amount and repeated administrative errors can block a graduate’s academic and professional advancement. I find this situation deeply frustrating and disappointing, and I expected far better support and efficiency from a leading academic institution.
