Effective August 3, 2020, the following is the complete step-by-step guide in applying for and participating in the virtual/online oathtaking ceremony:

Inside “Existing Transaction”, you’ll find the details of your current transaction, including a “PRINT DOCUMENT” button that you should click to print your oath form.

8. Wait for the confirmation email from the PRC.

This confirmation email contains the invitation link and password to the video conference (via Microsoft Teams or Zoom). You should expect to receive it in your registered email address 1-3 days before the scheduled virtual or online oathtaking.In case you fail to receive an invitation link a day before the scheduled oath date, please send a technical assistance request to technicalassistance@prc.gov.ph

9. Make the necessary technical preparation.

The video conferencing platform that will be used for the virtual oathtaking may vary depending on your profession. Be on the lookout for the official announcement from the PRC to know whether you’ll use Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

Once you’ve confirmed the platform to be used, download the application in your computer/device and familiarize yourself with its operation features before the scheduled oathtaking ceremony.

Ensure that you also have a decent webcam, microphone, and setup area with a stable Internet connection. The setup area where you’ll perform the oathtaking ceremony must have little to no distraction or background noise in order to keep the solemnity of the virtual event.

10. Follow pre-ceremony protocols.

In preparation for the online oathtaking ceremony, make sure to remember the following:

  • Wear formal or business attire.
  • Use a white backdrop (physical or virtual) throughout the ceremony.
  • Open the invitation link sent to your email address and be inside the meeting no later than 15 minutes before the start of the online oathtaking. For example, if your oathtaking is scheduled at 10:00 AM, then the screening time or waiting period is only from 9:00 AM to 9:45 AM. Late attendees will not be admitted.
  • Only use one device and never share the link details with any unauthorized person. Inductees that will be caught using multiple names or whose names will appear more than once in the list of participants will be presumed to have shared the link details with an unauthorized person/s, a clear violation of the rules that automatically disqualifies the inductee from participating in the online oathtaking. The violating inductee may no longer be readmitted but can still get another appointment.

11. Take your oath.

The oathtaking ceremony will be conducted in the following sequence:

  • Invocation
  • National Anthem
  • Welcome Remarks
  • Roll Call of the Inductees
  • Recital of the Professional’s Oath
  • Closing Remarks

Participants must observe proper decorum throughout the event. You’re not allowed to step out of the video conference, shout, take calls, or do anything distracting which includes showing another object or person. The audio must be kept on MUTE mode except during the recital of the professional’s oath.

Should you fail to participate in the scheduled oathtaking ceremony, you’re allowed to get another appointment.

Complete Guide to NSFAS Online Loan Application for South African Students (2025)

If you are a South African student looking to pursue higher education but are facing financial difficulties, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is one of the most accessible funding options available. NSFAS provides financial aid in the form of bursaries and loans to qualifying students at public universities and TVET colleges in South Africa.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the NSFAS loan application process, from eligibility requirements to application steps and frequently asked questions.

📌 What is NSFAS?

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a government-funded financial aid scheme aimed at helping students from low- and middle-income households to access tertiary education without the burden of upfront fees.

NSFAS offers both bursaries and income-contingent loans:

  • Bursaries: For eligible students who meet academic and household income criteria (especially for TVET and university students).
  • Loans: For students who do not meet all bursary criteria or who are pursuing postgraduate qualifications not funded under bursary schemes.

✅ Who Qualifies for an NSFAS Loan?

To qualify for an NSFAS loan (especially for postgraduate students or programs not funded under the bursary system), you must:

  • Be a South African citizen.
  • Be financially needy, with a household income of less than R350,000 per year.
  • Have a valid South African ID.
  • Be enrolled or accepted to study at a public university or TVET college.
  • Not be funded through another bursary program that covers all expenses.
  • Maintain satisfactory academic progress (returning students).

📚 Courses Funded by NSFAS

NSFAS primarily funds undergraduate qualifications, but certain postgraduate programs (e.g., PGCE, postgraduate diplomas in education, and professional courses like LLB) may be considered under the NSFAS loan scheme, not bursaries.

If you’re studying:

  • Undergraduate degree or diploma: You are likely eligible for a full NSFAS bursary.
  • Postgraduate study: You may qualify for a loan, depending on the course and funding availability.

📄 Required Documents for NSFAS Application

When applying, make sure you have the following documents scanned and ready:

  1. Certified copy of your South African ID or Smart Card.
  2. Parent(s) or guardian(s) ID documents.
  3. Proof of income (latest payslips, UIF, or affidavit if unemployed).
  4. Consent Form signed by your parent(s)/guardian(s) to allow NSFAS to verify income.
  5. Proof of registration or acceptance at a public institution.
  6. Academic transcripts (for continuing or postgraduate students).
