Matric & NSC Requirements
Campus prospectuses set out details of NSC and matric requirements for each programme.
Admission Point Score
Applicants who have obtained an NSC qualification must meet the required Admission Point Score (APS) score that is set for each programme.
NSC results are translated into points for each NSC subject. Results of interviews and other assessments may also be taken into account in determining the total APS or Admission Point Score.
Unless otherwise stated within a campus prospectus, WSU has, in terms of the new NSC, allocated a rating system according:
| Level | % | Symbol | Status of achievement | APS |
| 7 | 90-100% | A+ | Outstanding achievement | 9 |
| 7 | 80-90% | A | Outstanding achievement | 8 |
| 6 | 70-79% | B | Meritorious achievement | 7 |
| 5 | 60-69% | C | Substantial achievement | 6 |
| 4 | 50-59% | D | Moderate achievement | 5 |
| 3 | 40-49% | E | Adequate achievement | 4 |
| 2 | 30-39% | F | Elementary achievement | 1 |
