General admission requirements

The Higher Education Act No 101 of 1997, amended in May 2008, stipulates the following minimum entry requirements for university programmes as of January 2009:

Minimum admission requirements for higher certificate, diploma and Bachelor’s Degree programmes require a National Senior Certificate (NSC).
Policy considerations: Page 2 of the Government Gazette
This policy will be applicable to all higher education institutions with effect from January 2009.
The policy outlines the statutory minimum admission to higher education at the National Senior Certificate (NSC) level.
Though NSC is the primary gateway, it does not guarantee admission to any Programme of study in higher education.
Within the context of this policy, WSU exercises its right as a higher education institution to set up specific admission requirements.
A full list of recognised national curriculum subjects is available on the website: www.wsu.ac.za under Student Admissions.

A new residence has been found which can accommodate 38 students and the standard is commendable. This will assist in adding more beds for students to minimize the impasse on shortage of beds.
