Application requirements for WSU Online 2024-2025 admissions
involvement in undergraduate studies
- Only candidates whose National Senior Certificate (NSC) results show that the learner has met the requirements for admission to a bachelor’s degree, i.e. has been endorsed for a bachelor’s degree, will be admitted to the bachelor’s degree program.
- Only applicants with a Matriculation Exemption endorsement would be considered for admission under the old Senior Certificate.
System of Admission Points (APS)
- To admit students, the Faculty of Education employs a point system.
- The points for each NSC subject are then calculated based on the achievement levels.
- The total Admission Point Score will be calculated using points (APS).
- A bachelor’s degree requires an APS of at least 26.
- The Admissions Committee of the Faculty of Education considered the administration of entrance point scores as suggested by Universities South Africa (Usaf).
- The Committee recognizes the significance of the breakdown of achievement levels because it assists students whose work is superior to others.
- According to the Usaf plan, the points will be distributed as follows:
| NSC % per Subject | Points |
| 91% | 9,1 |
| 86% | 8,6 |
| 82% | 8,2 |
| 79% | 7,9 |
| 64% | 6,4 |
| 55% | 5,5 |
| 43% | 4,3 |
| 39% | 3,9 |
| 31% | 3,1 |
| 30% | 3,0 |
| 29% | 2,9 |
| 28% | 2,8 |
| 27% | 2,7 |
| 26% | 2,6 |
| 25% | 2,5 |
- The above division will assist the department in admitting students based on their performance, as opposed to the previous point system, in which a learner with 70% and a learner with 79 percent would both receive 7 points.
- It should be noted that the aforementioned score system does not consider life orientation or mathematical literacy.
- These two each receive the following number of points:
| NSC % per Subject | Points |
| 90% – 100% | 5 |
| 80% – 89% | 4 |
| 79% – 79% | 3 |
| 60% – 69% | 2 |
| 50% – 59% | 1 |
| 40% – 49% | 0 |
| 30% – 30% | 0 |
| 0 – 29% |
