Preface

The Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) through its mandate as spelt out in the Universities Act, Cap. 346

of the Laws of Tanzania in collaboration with the National Council for Technical Education (NACTE), National

Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA), the Higher Education Students Loans Board (HESLB) and higher

education institutions have improved the Central Admission System (CAS) which has been in operation since

2010/2011 academic year. Through the system, applicants who want to apply for admission into higher education

institutions are able to lodge applications online and be selected to programmes of their choice centrally. The

selection processing is based on the minimum programme entry and other requirements of each institution in the

country including admission capacity and other parameters. The decision on the actual admission of applicants is

then made by the individual institutions through their Governing Boards and Senates.

The Undergraduate Student Admission Guidebook is meant to provide the applicants with basic information on

matters related to the entire process of admissions through the Central Admission System. The Guidebook indicates

the programmes offered in each higher education institution as approved by TCU or NACTE. In addition, it

indicates the minimum entry requirements, institutional capacity, fee structure for each programme, maximum

loanable amount for programmes of national priority and other relevant information (For more information on Loans

the applicants are advised to refer to the Guidelines and Criteria for Issuance of Student Loans and Grants for

2015/2016 academic year issued by the Higher Education Students Loans Board).

The Guidebook provides a step-by-step procedure on how to apply through CAS using the Internet. Applicants are

therefore, strongly advised to read the Admissions Guidebook before they start lodging their applications. For

further inquiries, prospective applicants and the general public are advised to contact TCU or NACTE through the

1. Introduction

The Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) in collaboration with the National Council for Technical

Education (NACTE) has prepared this Undergraduate Students Admission Guidebook as a tool to simplify the

admission process in the country. The Admissions into higher education institutions is processed through Central

Admission System (CAS). However, under special circumstances some applicants may be allowed to apply

directly to individual institutions. Such applicants may include holders of post Form Six certificates (UQF 6) and

Bachelor Degrees. Through the Central Admission System applications can be lodged through the Internet. The

process is interactive in such a way that the applicant can easily and conveniently follow the instructions given

by the system in the course of lodging an application. In addition, the Guidebook has the following information:

Important dates to be adhered to during the application process;

List of participating institutions in the CAS;

Programme codes for each institution;

Minimum entry requirements for each programme;

Application fees and procedures for payment;

Maximum loanable amount for priority programmes (For more information on Loans refer to Issuance of Loans Guidelines and Criteria for academic year 2015/2016 issued by HESLB);

Categories of applicants eligible to use the Central Admission System;

Procedure for application through Internet

Other services offered by the Central Admission System.

Before lodging applications, applicants with foreign certificates are required to submit to TCU the

following documents for verification purpose:

i. Certified copy (copies) of equivalence letter obtained from NECTA;

www.nacte.go.tz.

4. Types of Higher Education Delivery Modes

Applicants should note that there are two modes of higher education delivery, namely, Conventional or Regular

mode and Open and Distance Learning (ODL). Conventional mode of programme delivery is classroom-based

while ODL is a mode where there are no regular classes. Students under the ODL mode conduct their study

using self-instruction materials and structured face-to-face interaction with their lecturers or instructors.


5

Applicants should thus bear in mind that all programmes offered by the Open University of Tanzania (OUT) are

delivered through ODL mode. There are no regular classes or continuous interaction with lecturers/instructors at

the Open University of Tanzania. Likewise, some programmes offered by Kampala International University-

Dar es Salaam Constituent College (KIUDCC) are also through the ODL mode.

5. Central Admission System (CAS) Participating Institutions

The Government directed from 2010/2011 academic year onwards that higher education institutions should

admit students through the Central Admission System. Institutions not participating in CAS for some reasons

will continue to process the admissions through their institutions and submit the selected applicants to

TCU/NACTE for approval. Table 2 shows the list of participating institutions in CAS in 2015/2016 academic

year. Institutions which will participate in CAS after the publication of this guidebook will be included provided

they are approved by TCU and NACTE. Applicants seeking admission into institutions not listed in Table 2

should apply directly to the respective institutions.

Applicants are advised to carefully go through the criteria for one to qualify for student loan as spelt out by the

Higher Education Students Loans Board before selecting programmes and submitting their applications. This information can be obtained from the Boards website www.heslb.go.tz. Students should also pursue other financing options rather than relying wholly on the HESLB.
