Admissions

You can apply through SACAP’s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy if:

• You are a mature student (24 years or older) and do not meet SACAP’s minimum requirements. You will need to provide a portfolio of evidence (formal/informal training or life-long learning) to support your admission.
• Kindly note that we can only accept 10% of applications through our RPL policy per programme and what’s more, RPL only applies to certain SACAP programmes.

SACAP is now registered with USAF/Matriculation Board 

The Matriculation Board advises on minimum university admission. It is responsible for administering the government-approved endorsement and exemption regulations and resolutions.

School leavers who are looking to take up Bachelors studies at SACAP are required to obtain a matriculation exemption via USAF/Matriculation board.

What is a matriculation exemption?
A matriculation exemption is a legal requirement for the first-degree study at a South African university.

•  Students who did not pass Senior Certificate with endorsement are required by law to apply for a matriculation exemption through the Matriculation Board.
• International students wishing to register for first-degree studies in South Africa must have their school qualifications evaluated by the Matriculation Board that will then issue a certificate of exemption to those who qualify.

In order to apply for a matriculation exemption please visit the USAF/Matriculation board website and follow the steps:  Online Assessment and Application | Matriculation Board (usaf.ac.za)
