Prof Chris Nhlapo VICE-CHANCELLOR
You worked hard to complete your secondary schooling. Your hard work is rewarded as you enter the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) as a student in tertiary education, ready to embark on a new journey of education and empowerment. Exciting as this may be, it may be equally intimidating. The CPUT community welcomes you and assures you that your journey is starting in the right place. To reassure you, we want to share our vision and values of ONENESS and SMARTNESS. ONENESS implies that you now form part of the CPUT community – where together, we are one. The three U’s: Ubunye (unity), Ukungafani (diversity), Ubuntu, tell you that we ascribe to an African philosophy of “ukuhamba unxibe izihlangu zomnye umntu” – to walk in someone else’s shoes. SMARTNESS infers that we revel in a culture of learning by doing, and our strategies are focused on technological developments and innovations. We strive to make a better world through education, research, and technological innovation. Your education is why you are here, and education is our business – and we benefit from you reaching your full potential. The vast academic, support and development activities at CPUT are here to guide and enrich your journey to great success. I wish you well for the journey ahead and believe that together we can achieve great success. May your time at CPUT be rewarding and empowering as you step into student life.

Is it true that I will struggle to fall pregnant if I use contraception too long? No, contraception does not affect your fertility. Do I have to inform the University that I am pregnant? No, your pregnancy status is confidential, however, not informing the University will limit the support that the student can receive from the University. A student however is compelled to inform the University of their pregnancy if they are studying a course with a higher-than-normal risk to the baby and mother. This refers to programmes that include: • Physical activity, including lifting and carrying; • The use of chemicals, including paints and pesticides; • Medical and biohazardous material and waste; • Working in hot/cold or pressurised environments; • Possibility of exposure to infectious disease, including laboratory work and healthcare provision, and looking after animals or dealing with animal products; • Exposure to ionising radiation. Who can I inform that I am pregnant? A student can inform any staff member. It is recommended however that the first point of contact is the Campus Health Clinic or Student Counselling, as they will offer the necessary support and guide the student on the process to follow to inform the Academic Department. By when should I inform the University? It is recommended that a student inform the University of their pregnancy at least 12-weeks before the date of delivery to ensure that the necessary support can be put in place for the student. If a student is studying a programme with a higher-than-normal risk, then they should inform the University immediately. How long can I attend classes when I’m pregnant? A new policy on Student Pregnancy is currently in the final phase of approval and it will provide clarity on class attendance and examinations during pregnancy. Please contact your local Student Counselling office for more information on the process to follow. Till when am I allowed to stay in Residence when pregnant? According to the CPUT General Handbook, a pregnant student must vacate residence when 32 weeks pregnant.
