Terms and Conditions

By using this site you agree that it is an independent information guide, not CAO and not an official portal. You must not enter passwords, ID numbers, CAO numbers or other private details in any form on this site, because the forms on this static preview are demonstration-only and the site cannot help with a private application record.

Content is provided for general guidance. The site owner is not liable for decisions made on outdated fees, dates or requirements: always verify on cao.ac.za. Links to official sites are provided for convenience; their content is their responsibility.

Content on this site may not be presented as official CAO material, and the original logo on this site must not be confused with the official CAO logo.

Who These Terms Cover

These terms cover your use of this independent information guide, including reading the guides, using the student tools, using the demonstration-only forms, and following outbound links to official sources. By using this site you agree to these terms. This site is not CAO and not an official portal, and these terms do not create any relationship between you and CAO or any university.

Acceptable Use

Use this site for your own application preparation and learning. Do not enter passwords, ID numbers, passport numbers, CAO numbers, or other private details in any form or tool on this site, because the forms on this static preview are demonstration-only and the site cannot help with a private application record. Do not present content from this site as official CAO material, do not confuse the original logo on this site with the official CAO logo, and do not use the site to attempt to access a private record, since this site holds none.

Using The Content

Content on this site is provided for general guidance. You may use the guides for your own application preparation, but you must not present them as official CAO material, as advice from CAO or a university, or as a guarantee of any outcome. Plain-language explanations of official status terms must not be quoted in a way that changes the official meaning of the term. Where a guide directs you to verify a detail on cao.ac.za or in the official Handbook, that verification step is part of using the content responsibly.

Tools And Forms

Student tools on this site explain official wording, calculate from figures you enter, or help you tick off preparation steps, and they run in your browser only. They do not check, change, or retrieve a private record, and they do not collect passwords or ID numbers. Forms on this static preview are demonstration-only: submitting one shows a confirmation message in your browser, but nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored, and no reply will come from the form. Do not rely on a demonstration form to send a correction, an application, or a request to CAO.

External Links

Links to official sites are provided for convenience, so you can verify information at its source. Their content is their responsibility, and their own terms and policies apply when you visit them. A link to an official site does not make this site official, affiliated, or endorsed, and this site is not responsible for changes to, or the availability of, those other sites.

Liability

Content is provided for general guidance only. The site owner is not liable for decisions made on outdated fees, dates, or requirements: always verify on cao.ac.za and in the current CAO Handbook before you pay, submit, change a choice, or rely on a date. No guide on this site guarantees admission, funding, a fee, a deadline, or any other outcome, and institutions decide admissions. If this site and an official source disagree, the official source prevails.

Changes To These Terms

These terms may change as the site changes, for example if the site moves to WordPress, adds a working contact route, or adds new tools. If these terms change, the updated version will appear on this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the site.

Independence Reminder

This site is an independent educational information guide. It is not CAO, it is not affiliated with or endorsed by CAO or any university, and it is not an official portal. It cannot retrieve private application records, and actual status records are only on the official CAO portal at cao.ac.za.
