Selection Procedure
• Selection is done in terms of academic ranking. The maximum APS obtainable is 48. Selection will therefore start from 48 down and will stop once places in a programme have been filled.
Early Selection
• Applicants with excellent Grade 11, Grade 12 June/Trial or mock results may be selected early (before final examinations). Selections will be final, provided selected applicants obtain a NSC-Deg or equivalent
and meet qualification entrance requirements and academic ranking in the final examinations.
• Applicants already in possession of a NSC-Deg or Senior Certificate may also be offered places early.
• Applicants who do not meet the programme requirements for entry into specific programmes (based on subject choices and projected level of performance during Grade 12) will be advised that their applications were unsuccessful. Should there be a significant improvement in their performance in the final examinations, their applications may be reconsidered if there are still places available.
• Other applications will be considered after the release of the NSC results.
• The minimum APS’s published should therefore only be used as a guide.
• Meetingtheminimumscoredoes not guarantee a place, as the University receives more applications than it can accommodate and places in a programme may be filled before the published score is reached. Aim for scores above the minimum published.
• Applications below the published scores will not be offered places.
• Applicants must calculate their minimum score, using Grade 11, mid-year Grade 12 or Trial results and only apply if they think that they will meet the requirements.
• Applicants must pay attention to school quintile requirements for extended programmes.
