HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR ADMISSION POINT SCORE (APS)
The percentages achieved in National Senior Certificate examinations (preliminary and final examinations) will be allocated an admissions score using the percentage obtained for each subject. The sum of six subject scores, excluding Life Orientation but including English and any other required subject(s) for the relevant programme is considered when deciding on admission. Results below 40% for any subject do not attract a score. Mathematics Paper 3 does not contribute to the APS score but the results will be captured for the Dean to note when making an admission decision.

DEANS DECISIONS

Some places are usually offered to students with an APS score of 38 – 44 with some extra conditions (see extended studies below). It is therefore very important to give full information when completing the application form as this is the information that the Dean will use for making a decision.
