How UNISA scores you

Every university does this differently.

Checked against the official source

Unisa APS

Unisa adds the NSC achievement levels (1 to 7) of your six best 20-credit subjects, excluding Life Orientation - the same method as UP. Unisa is distance-only: meeting a qualification’s APS and subject minimums does not guarantee a space for qualifications with limited places.

This score means nothing at another university – it can’t be compared with any other university’s.

What we couldn’t confirm
  • Unisa states that meeting the APS and subject minimums does not guarantee a space for qualifications with limited places, which we cannot model - we only check the published minimum.

What we couldn’t verify at UNISA

We publish our gaps instead of hiding them.

partially verified

3 programmes confirmed (BCom, LLB, BEd Foundation Phase); BSc General and BA not included

Unisa’s admission mechanism is fully confirmed and is the same best-6-subjects-excluding-LO NSC method as UP, so UNISA_APS is registered computable - the first new non-computable-by-default university in this batch to get a working calculator. Unisa is distance-only and explicitly states meeting the APS/subject minimums does not guarantee a space for qualifications with limited places. All 3 programmes’ 2027 application window (17 August - 9 October 2026) is stated directly on their own pages. A generic "BSc General" was found but left out (no specific career fits it meaningfully). Unisa’s "BA" is split across many separately-coded major combinations with no single general page - left out rather than picking one combination arbitrarily; re-fetching one specific BA-major page directly is the next step.
