Later, it was officially registered as a private higher education institution with the Department of Higher Education and Training in 1997 and accredited by the Council on Higher Education.[2][3] The Cape Town campus moved from Park & Kloof Street to Roeland Street in 2014.[4] CityVarsity has seen an increase in international students over its existence.[5]
