GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Prospective students who MATRICULATED PRIOR TO 2008 must please contact
NMMUs Admissions Office to determine their admission requirements.
Tel: 041 504 3911
E-mail: admissions@nmmu.ac.za
Web: www.nmmu.ac.za
Prospective students will need at least a National Senior Certificate (NSC) or

equivalent school-leaving certificate for admission to a diploma programme and
must ensure that four of their seven subjects are from the designated list for
admission to a degree programme.
If an N3 Certificate was obtained, the N3 results together with the applicants
Grade 12 language results are used.
Apart from this, there are also specific subject requirements for some
qualifications.
Admission to an undergraduate programme will be further determined by an
applicants Admission Points Score (APS). The APS system is used for allocating
point values to your seven NSC subjects (see Table A).
Applicants who do not meet the general requirements for the APS and/or the
specific requirements for admission to a module or programme may be given the
opportunity to be assessed on the Access Assessment Battery (AAB). Applicants
must have a minimum APS of 22 in order to apply for a programme at the
NMMU.
There are limits to the number of students that can be admitted to each
programme. Meeting the minimum admission requirements does NOT guarantee
acceptance and you may be required to undergo further testing and/or be
interviewed. If a programme is full, you may be denied admission even though
you meet the minimum requirements.

Faculty of Arts
NMMU
Qualification Minimum Statutory Entry Requirement
National Higher Certificate: Pass NSC, together with any other university
requirements.
Diploma: Pass NSC with an achievement rating of 3 (40-49 %) or better in four
subjects, together with any other university requirements.
Bachelors Degree: Pass NSC with an achievement rating of 4 (50-59 %) or better
in four subjects from the designated list, together with any other university
requirements.
How to calculate your Admission Point Score (APS)
The APS system allocates point values to the levels of achievement obtained for
your matric subjects.
Write down your seven NSC subjects and the levels obtained. If you have 8 or
more subjects, use Life Orientation + the best six subjects (the six subjects which
have the highest level).
Allocate points according to the table below.
Add up the number of points you have to calculate your APS.

SELECTION PROCEDURE
The Faculty has limited capacity. This implies that, if the number of applicants
meeting the minimum requirements exceeds capacity, the selection procedure below
has to be applied.
Candidates who satisfy the minimum requirements and who apply before the
official closing date (August 1) are given preference.
When applications exceed capacity, candidates will be assessed on merit in terms of
the conditions stipulated in the admission requirements.
Late applications are only considered where capacity is available. Selection of late
applicants who satisfy the minimum requirements is done on the basis of first come,
first served. Final acceptance is based on official final NSC results. Selection based
on other school results (e.g. Grade 11 results) is provisional, subject to submission of
final results.

RE-ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES

Once a student has been admitted to a programme and studies have commenced, it
is expected that reasonable academic progress will take place every year.
However, in reality some students do not live up to this expectation and the
University is then obliged to deal with that situation. The outcome may be that such
students would have to terminate their studies. To deal with situations like this the
University has adopted a Policy on re-admission to Undergraduate Programmes and
each faculty has formulated specific re-admission rules applicable to the programmes
offered by that faculty.
When considering a students re-admission status, the period of study will influence
the outcome of the decision. A minimum and maximum period of study has been
determined for each programme (please consult the General Prospectus for details).
In the event that a student has reached the end of the prescribed maximum period of
study, the student will only be re-admitted under special circumstances (e.g. when
the student, with due consideration of his/her academic record, is likely to complete
his/her qualification by the end of the following year).
Since monitoring of the academic progress of students is on-going, students will
normally be alerted before re-admission is denied; conditions may also be set for
registration when it is noticed that a students academic performance is not
satisfactory. Conditional re-admission may include limiting the modules for the next
year and/or deregistration of modules at the end of the first semester should
specified performance requirements not have been met.
In what follows the re-admission rules for all the programmes in the Faculty are set
out in tabular format. In order to be readmitted to a programme, a student needs to
have accumulated a minimum number of credits at the end of each year of study.
The relevant number of credits for each programme is indicated in the tables with
reference to each year of study. If after a particular year of study the required number
of credits has not been achieved, the student may either be re-admitted subject to
certain conditions or be refused re-admission. (It should be noted that in order to
accommodate the difficulties associated with the transition from school to university,
students are normally not refused re-admission at the end of their first year.) In the
event of refusal a student may lodge an appeal in terms of the prescribed procedure
outlined in the General Prospectus.
NB: Please note that some programmes have their own specific re-admission rules,
which are included with the specific rules of that programme. Students should take
care to acquaint themselves with these rules.

Process to determine if re-admission requirements have been met

The following process will be followed to determine whether a student has met the readmission requirements:
At the end of each semester, Faculty Administration reviews students progress
and simultaneously identifies those students who have not met the required readmission conditions. Heads of Department, in consultation with Faculty
Administration, finalise the lists of students who are not re-admitted.
Faculty Administration then informs students accordingly; a copy of the letter is
put on the students record.
Students who have been denied re-admission have one further opportunity to
apply for enrolment in an alternative programme in another school or faculty via
the Admissions Office.
Students have a right to appeal against this decision in terms of the prescribed
procedure outlined in the General Prospectus.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Introduction
The Faculty of Arts strives to ensure that all our students are successful in their
studies. Furthermore, the Faculty develops and uses, in collaboration with the Centre
for Teaching, Learning and Media (CTLM), teaching and learning practices based on
learner-centeredness. The Faculty of Arts also recognises the importance of
providing students with comprehensive academic support processes and
interventions to ensure success in their studies. The faculty also recognises the
importance of effective teaching and learning practices to ensure the academic
success of students. Therefore, proactive teaching and learning interventions are
vital to ensure student success and throughput. In addition, as interaction between
staff and students is required to ensure learning difficulties are addressed, academic
staff needs to allocate adequate time slots for student consultation.
Academic Support Initiatives
Examination and test results are analysed after every examination period (June and
November examinations) by the relevant Head of Department (HoD). A detailed
report is then submitted to the School Management Committee (SMC) for action. A
final report is submitted by the Director of the School (DoS) to the Faculty
Management Committee (FMC) (normally in February and August). The report
includes proposed remedial actions to be put in place for the modules where a low
pass rate was obtained. Remedial actions and interventions are linked to teaching
and learning practices, curricula design, academic support, timetabling and venue
availability.
14
Faculty of Arts
NMMU
Barriers to learning are then identified by FMC and addressed by the Faculty
Teaching and Learning Committee, FMC, Student Counselling or referred to the
particular SMC for further action.
REVIEW OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Lecturers monitor the academic progress of students throughout the semester,
especially after each semester test. Lecturers will use academic support initiatives to
ensure support at an early stage to potentially at risk students. These interventions
may include referrals to SCCDC for Guidance and Counselling, Learning Skills
Enhancement Programmes, or interventions in collaboration with CTLM like Tutorials
or SI.
In programmes where semester modules are offered, Faculty Administration in
consultation with Heads of Department, monitors progress at the end of each
semester. Students whose progress is deemed unsatisfactory will receive either
warning/conditional letters in accordance with the approved rules, where applicable.
In programmes where year modules are offered, progress will be monitored by
relevant HoDs. Students whose progress is deemed unsatisfactory will receive either
warning/conditional letters or be denied re-admission to the programme, in
accordance with the approved rules. HoDs will where necessary identify remedial
actions and implement academic support initiatives.
3.3
STATEMENT ON THE UNIVERSITY'S INTERVENTION IN THE EVENT OF

POSSIBLE DISRUPTIONS TO ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
From past experience the University knows that circumstances beyond our control
may disrupt our academic activities. The University therefore reserves the right to
implement certain emergency measures when deemed necessary to manage such
situations. Please note that the University shall not be held liable for any
inconvenience, damage or other negative consequence resulting from the
implementation of such emergency measures.

For more information in connection with NMMUs regulations, consult the General
Prospectus and Regulations. The following is additional information and a summary
of the more important points of the above Prospectus.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Minimum attendance
Due to the practical nature of the qualification, students who have not attended a
minimum of 80% of normal lectures will be refused permission to sit for the
examination unless special leave is granted. In addition to this, students who have
not completed and handed in, on time, a minimum of 80% of their projects for a
particular module, or part of a module, will not be allowed to sit for the examination in
that module.
EXAMINATIONS
Portfolio examinations/continuous evaluation
Where continuous evaluation in any form is used as an evaluation method, all tasks,
etc. submitted for this purpose will be kept at NMMU for three years for certification
purposes. Students who wish to keep their original work for employment-seeking
purposes should substitute these with ammonia prints or 35mm colour slides directly
after assessment has been completed.

PROMOTION RULES
All the major modules, namely Design 1 (DAP1211/1322), Construction and
Detailing 1 (DKD1011/1012), Computer Applications 1 (DKP1121/1132) and Studio
Work 1 (DSW1011/1012) in the first year must be satisfactorily completed before a
student is promoted into second year. The pre-requisite and co-requisite modules
apply to promotion in second and third year due to the integrated nature of the major

RE-ADMISSION RULES
The generic Faculty rules will apply but new first-years are in addition subject to the
following rule:
Students who fail two or more of the major modules {namely Design 1
(DAP1211/1322), Construction and Detailing 1 (DKD1011/1012), Computer
Applications 1 (DKP1121/1132) and Studio Work 1 (DSW1011/1012)} in the first
semester of the first year will not be allowed to continue with the 2 nd semester but
will be required to complete a minimum of six months experiential learning in a
Registered Architectural Practice in the 2 nd semester before being permitted to repeat
the failed first-year modules the following year. Upon successful completion of this
experiential learning, candidates will be required to submit a letter from the employer
accompanied by a portfolio of evidence. Students would furthermore be required to
avail themselves for a departmental test as part of re-admission criteria.
