ACADEMIC DOCUMENTS WE REQUIRE Currently in final school year: South African school system: Final grade 11 results as per the Department of Education guidelines.
International school system: Grade 11 results as well as final-year school subjects with levels
Also note: - Applicants enrolled in a foreign (international) school system, for example International Baccalaureate (IB) or a USA High School Diploma, must apply using grade 11 (pre-final year) results. - You should supply a list of subjects taken in the final year of school (grade 12 /13) with levels for the official subjects and predicted results (confirmed by the school). - Please note, however, that applicants from the Cambridge school system do not need to provide the predicted results for the final year subjects. They still need to provide the list of subjects and indicate the level they are taking them in their final year, for Exemption purposes. - To make sure you meet the requirements for Matriculation Exemption, please visit the Universities South Africa's website http://mb.usaf.ac.za for more information on Matriculation Exemption. Completed final school year: South African school system: National Senior Certificate (NSC) or IEB / Statement of symbols of final school results. International school system: Final school results from International Curriculum (Cambridge International, International Baccalaureate, etc.), including School of Tomorrow. Additional subjects or rewrites (all school systems): If you have completed additional subjects or rewrote subjects (or are busy rewriting the subjects this year), please include the subjects and grades.
If you follow the international school system, also note: - Cambridge applicants must also include IGCSE or O level or GCSE certificates. - If you complete your schooling in an international school system, you must meet the requirements set by Universities South Africa (USAf) for Matriculation Exemption for that system by the time you come to register. - To determine whether you meet the requirements, please see: http://mb.usaf.ac.za and select the relevant country's information. - Applicants following the American system must provide the necessary exemption documents as per the USAf website at https://mb.usaf.ac.za/united-states-of-america/. - It is normally only possible to apply for a formal certificate of University Exemption during your first year of registration so you might not yet have it available when you come to register for the first time. You will, however, be able to register, provided that you do qualify for Matriculation Exemption.
