When is University of Goroka (UoG) 2024 Non-School Leavers Acceptance Lists Coming Out?

There are three weeks before the start of the 2024 academic year for PNG universities and colleges. Most higher education institutions released their new intake and continuing students lists, but the University of Goroka (UoG) has yet to release the Non-School Leavers acceptance list for 2024.

To find out when the NSL Selection list for this year will come out, click here.

When is UoG releasing the 2024 NSL acceptance list?

If you are a non-school leaver, Grade 12 school leavers or pre-service and in-service continuing student, leave a comment about your experience and what you think in the comment section below.

University of Goroka non school leavers acceptance list 2024

  

UoG 2024 Non-School Leavers Acceptance List

The University of Goroka 2024 Non-School Leavers List has not been released. Many pre-service and in-service NSL applicants are anticipating the list to come out, but you have to be patient. 

Other PNG universities and colleges have released their NSL and continuing student lists. Also, last year DHERST released (19/01/2023) the TESAS Award List for all the students on HECAS and AES.

Note that the selection of non-school leavers is the sole responsibility of UoG. The university's selection committee and department heads have a say on NSL selection, not DHERST. When the list does not come out on time, there is something not right with the non-school leavers' selectors.

No one really knows when the UoG non-school leavers selection for 2024 is coming out. But this article give you an idea about when to expect the NSL lists to come out.

It would be better if the university council put out a notice explaining the cause of the delay and clearly stated when the NSL list is coming out! Sadly, it seems too late now that DHERST has released the TESAS Awards List 2024.

UoG 2024 Pre-service and In-service Continuing Students List

The University of Goroka did well in 2021 when they informed the continuing students about their progression status just before they left for the Christmas holiday. This was due to COVID-19 measures, but it worked well because there was less pressure on Students Admin during the 2022 registration week. 

It seems that UoG did not do the same this year which is why many continuing students are also waiting for the progression list to come out for 2024.

If you are waiting for the UoG 2024 Continuing Students List to come out, you are better off going to the university and finding out yourself. 

If you are unable to travel to UoG, call a friend or UoG on 532 1863 to find out. That way, you'll get some closure as you prepare for the 2024 academic year to start.

New Intake School Leavers - University of Goroka

The list of Grade 12 School leavers 2024 intake was released by DHERST on the last week of December in previous years.

By now, the UoG school leavers should receive their acceptance letters. You should know about the 2024 UoG fees, admission information and when to arrive at the university for registration.

When is UoG 2024 Non-School Leavers Acceptance Lists Coming Out?


Three weeks before the 2024 academic year starts, many are asking the question - is it too late. Sadly, it is late now - the delay can cause a lot of anxiety among NSL applicants and DHERST has released the TESAS Awards List.

More so, what about the self-sponsored students, overseas students, provincial government-sponsored students and new in-service students? It's a shame UoG cannot communicate vital admission information clearly and in a timely manner.

We would like to think that UoG will release the 2024 Non-School Leavers Acceptance list, including the Continuing Students and School Leavers' lists soon. 

Hope that UoG updates its website with the latest admission information this week so that students are informed of what is going on.

DHERST released TESAS Awards Lists

DHERST released the TESAS Award lists for new intakes (SL and NSL) and continuing students on the 19th of January last year. For this year, check out the PDF lists on this page to check your names.

Note that the list of names is not arranged by your institution like in the past, but by the names of all the students in the country. It is going to take time to find your name. 

Use the PDF search (CTRL+F) and search your SLF number or your full name - this way, you'll find your name quickly.
