Selection processes for new entrants to UKZN in 2022

The following overarching selection criteria and processes apply to all new entrants who are embarking on study at a tertiary institution for the first time in 20.

1. The academic board selects a minimum of 15% of new entrants to each program from students who have completed their schooling at Quantile 1 or 2 schools and meet all the minimum entry requirements for the program. Specific programs may provide for increased quotas.

2. The academic ranking for programs other than Medicine is based on the Academic Performance Score (APS) obtained in the South African National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations as described below. Applicants for MBChB will be ranked based on their average % score.

3. If more than seven subjects are taken the APS is calculated by adding the performance level for:
a. English (HL or FAL), plus
b. Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy, plus
c. The best ratings of the other subjects (excluding Life Orientation and Maths paper 3) so that a total of six subjects are included.

4. programs that do not have a sufficient number of suitably qualified applicants from Quintiles 1 or 2 seven days prior to the commencement of on-campus registration for the program may fill any remaining places with applicants from Quintile 3, then 4, then 5.

5. Certain programs may impose additional criteria (for example, a portfolio of work, audition or interview) in order to determine eligibility for the program.

6. For students who have obtained a school leaving certificate other than the NSC, USAf criteria and guidelines for equivalent performance levels will be used where available to estimate the academic rank.

7. There will be no ‘Dean’s Discretion’ for students entering directly from NSC and selection will be done according to the agreed criteria by the College Admissions processes. However some measure of discretion, to be exercised by the College Dean of Teaching & Learning, is required in the case of qualifying applicants from other countries or examination systems, immigrant applicants or applicants with disabilities.
