. Enrolment planning: The main challenge for students with regards to the enrolment planning of TUT is that it changes constantly. Bureaucracy during the registration period affects students negatively. Most students coming from other provinces are delayed since their applications are processed and approved at the main campus in Pretoria. No financial support or accommodation is provided to these students while they wait to be admitted to the institution. . Residences: The Ga-Rankuwa and Soshanguve residences are still operating without an adequate infrastructure. The institution has only renovated and painted the residences when they should rather have constructed new buildings. Facilities at the residences are still a cause of concern for students and little has been done to address this issue. Residences in satellite campuses are poorly maintained and some students are not accommodated. . Constitution of the SRC: There is a notion that the management of the institution undermines the Constitution of the SRC. The SRC is seldom consulted on critical decisions of the institution. The main challenge is that there is currently no SRC structure at the Soshanguve campus which affects the representation of the students needs to management. No date was set for the election of a new SRC for this campus. . National Student Financial Aid (NSFAS): Students currently enrolled for the Bachelor of Technology (BTech) degrees are not assisted with NSFAS funding. This has contributed to a high drop out rate of economically challenged students enrolled for this degree and there were no plans to address this issue. . Merger: The merger process has disadvantaged the historically disadvantaged merged institutions. As a result, enrolments have been capped significantly at the Soshanguve campus. The aspirations of the merger were positive. However, the SRC showed concern that those with the mandate to fully implement the merger were not effectively carrying out the task.
