STAATSKOERANT, 30 NOVEMBER 2018 No. 42068   27

SCHEDULE

Amendment of the minimum admission requirements for entry into Bachelor's


Degree programmes for holders of the National Senior Certificate

The Schedule to Government Notice 751 published in Gazette 31231 of 11 July 2008 is
amended as set out below.

The portion of Paragraph 4 on pages 8 and 9 under the heading "Bachelor's Degree" is
deleted and is replaced by the following:

"Bachelor's Degree"
The minimum admission requirement is a National Senior Certificate (NSC) with a minimum
of 30% in the language of learning and teaching of the higher education institution as certified
by Umalusi, coupled with an achievement rating of 4 (Adequate Achievement, 50 - 59 %) or
better in four 20- credit NSC subjects.

A 20- credit NSC subject is a subject recognised for the seven -subject NSC package as
approved by the Minster of Basic Education in terms of the National Education Policy Act,
1996 (Act No. 27 of 1996).

Adequate Achievement in the NSC and in at least four 20- credit NSC subjects provides the
primary basis for admission to a Bachelor's Degree programme. An institution is entitled to
specify an appropriate level of subject achievement for a particular programme. For example,
admission requirements for a Bachelor's Degree programme in Fine Art or Music might include
a specified level of achievement in the corresponding recognised NSC subject/s. Similarly,
an institution will be entitled to specify subject requirements for a particular programme. For
example, Mathematics and Physical Science might be considered as requirements for
admission to a Bachelor of Science Degree.
