Online Assessment

The Online Assessment is intended to provide applicants with an indication of whether or not they are eligible for exemption towards degree studies in South Africa and WILL NOT necessarily result in an exemption certificate.

The assessment outcome is based on answers you provide about your age, current qualifications or certificates or the country you obtained your certificate. If the results indicate that you are not eligible, the necessary steps towards exemption will be provided.

Universities SA will not be held responsible for applicants mis-understanding or mis-interpreting the information provided.

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ONLY AN NSC CERTIFICATE INDICATING YOU MAY STUDY FOR HIGHER CERTIFICATE, DIPLOMA OR BACHELOR DEGREE YOU MUST NOT APPLY FOR EXEMPTION. IF YOU HAVE AN NSC AND A COMPLETED HIGHER CERTIFICATE OR DIPLOMA YOU MAY APPLY FOR EXEMPTION

Non-refundable deposit
You agree and understand that this fee is non-refundable. The online assessment will guide you and indicate the minimum requirements for exemption. Should you not qualify for an exemption, whatever the reason may be, the fee will not be refunded. Therefore, you should not apply if you do not have the minimum requirements or you do not have the correct supporting documentation in the correct format to support your application.
