University of Goroka (UoG) 2024 Selections, Admission and Acceptance Lists Updates

The University of Goroka (UOG) publishes four separate lists to inform students of their admission status for various categories. These are:

• New Intake Grade 12 School Leavers (SL) Acceptance List: This list names students who have been accepted for undergraduate studies as school leavers directly from Grade 12.

• Non-School Leavers (NSL) Acceptance List: This list names students who have been accepted for undergraduate studies who are not school leavers (e.g., mature-aged students, transfer students).

• Continuing Students Progression List: This list confirms the continuation of studies for currently enrolled students who have successfully progressed to the next academic year.

• Re-enrolled Students Acceptance List: This list names students who have been accepted to re-enrol in their studies after a period of absence.

Please note: The specific dates for the release of these lists will be announced by UOG and the Higher Education Department (DHERST). Get the latest updates on UOG in on PNG Insight here.

NSL, re-admit and continuing students' TESAS status

For non-school leavers, readmitted, and continuing students, it's mandatory to confirm your TESAS status. This means ascertaining whether you're currently receiving either AES or HECAS funding.

Additionally, you should explore how to apply for HELP, the PNG government's student loan scheme. This article provides valuable insights into both TESAS and HELP, which you'll find helpful.
