Over 20,000 Applications Initiated in First Month of Free Tuition at University of Guyana

Following the largest number of applications received upon the implementation of Government-funded tuition at the University of Guyana, applications were closed on May 16, 2025.

However, due to a number of requests by students and other stakeholders, the University will reopen its applications portal for the 2025/2026 Academic Year for a few programmes with space from Friday, May 30 to midnight on Monday, June 2, 2025. Given that the most competitive programmes are already oversubscribed by several hundred students, only specific programmes will be reopened for new applicants during this short period.

The application process for new students opened on April 1, 2025, and closed on May 16, 2025. Applicants whose applications have already been submitted are asked to note that responses will be posted from the second week in June through August 2025.

Orientation for the new academic year will be held around August 25, 2025. New applicants and continuing students are urged to keep checking their emails and SRMS accounts continuously for updates to avoid delays in accepting offers.

This year, prospective students will have a two-week window to accept the place offered due to the high application rate. Persons are also urged to check to ensure that they have fully completed the application process, as there is a high number of initiated but incomplete applications in addition to the high number of those already submitted.

Meanwhile, the application process for continuing students will open on June 16, 2025, and will run until August 1, 2025.

Information on all course/programme offerings, application processes, and other relevant details has been, and will continue to be, communicated via all the University’s official channels. These official communication channels are the University’s website and the Student Records Management System (SRMS). The University will also issue official notices, press statements, and advertisements via its media partners.

CSEC students writing exams this year were encouraged to apply for admission pending their examination results and indicate to CXC that they wish to have their results shared with the University directly by CXC to save time. Some programmes will allow provisional acceptance pending receipt of grades.
