NEW NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE (NSC) 2009

The new National Senior Certificate was for the first time issued to Grade 12 learners at the end of 2008. NB: Since the National Senior Certificate differs a lot from the Senior Certificate/Technical Matric and many students will still apply for registration with the latter certificate, it means we will have to distinguish between the 2 types of certificates and apply the rules for admission for each. NO ACCESS COURSES FOR THE ABOVE CANDIDATES (NSC) There are no changes to the Senior Certificate as we know it and an explanation about the new National Senior Certificate follows below: SOME IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NSC

1 Subjects will no longer be passed on HG/SG/LG. 2 Languages will no longer be passed as First/Second or Third language, but as

Home Language/first additional language or second additional language. 3 There will be no subject aggregate. 4 All learners must pass Life Orientation as well as Mathematics or

Mathematical Literacy. 5 The endorsement of the senior certificate as we know it will also disappear.

The new National Senior Certificate will give an indication of the entry level for which a student qualifies, in other words if a student qualifies for admission to a Higher Certificate or Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree.

6 The Ordinary conditional exemption certificate will not form part of the NSC.

7 In cases where a student does not qualify for his proposed qualification, e.g he is in possession of NSC with entry level Diploma and wants to do a BA degree, no evaluation for possible conditional exemption or registration for the access program is allowed. Such a student has only a choice to do either a diploma or a higher certificate and nothing else.

NATIONAL CERTIFICATE VOCATIONAL (NCV)

The new National Certificate Vocational has been issued for the first time to Grade 12 learners at the end of 2009. NB: Since the National Certificate Vocational differs a lot from the current National Senior Certificate (Technical Matric) and many students will still apply for registration with the latter certificate, it means we will have to distinguish between the 2 types of certificates and apply the rules for admission for each.

The NCV result slips issued at the end of 2009, did not indicate the entry level. These documents had to be evaluated to indicate the entry levels. If you come across one of these, please refer to Lou-Lou/Jerry at AME Sunnyside who will assist in determining the entry level.

The NCV result slips/certificates issued by the end of 2010, will reflect the entry levels (similar to what we have for the NSC), for example if the entry level is Diploma, the student may register for Higher Certificate or Diploma and not for Degree. THE NOTING OF THE MATRIC DETAILS FOR THE NCV MUST BE DONE AS EXPLAINED BELOW

Ordinary conditional exemption (OCC) NEW OCC STUDENTS (First registrations) Option 1: OCC Student must be made aware of the following: 1 Must immediately take the necessary steps to ensure that the condition on the OCC is

fulfilled in the first year of registration. 2 No re-registration will be allowed in subsequent academic years, unless the condition

has been fulfilled. 3 The student must contact the Matriculation Board to find out what the condition is. Option 2: Access Programme. If the student is not keen on fulfilling an outstanding condition by passing the subjects as prescribed by the Matriculation Board, he may be advised to register for the Access Programme instead. Completion of the Access Programme gives admission to Bachelor's degree studies. A certificate of Senate Discretionary Conditional Exemption will be issued, which will be valid for 3 years. If after this 3 years, the student managed to obtain a course weight of 1,000 (normally about 10 modules passed), a certificate of Full Exemption will be issued. In cases where the relevant course weight was not obtained, the certificate may be renewed for a further period of 3 years. NB! Prospective LLB students are strongly advised to do the Access Programme, since a certificate of Full Exemption, which is required by The SA Law Society, will be issued as soon as a course weight of 1,000 is obtained. Option 3: Age exemption (+23) If a student is old enough and also qualifies for a certificate of conditional exemption on the grounds of age (refer to page 17 of manual) he must be advised of this option. This type of certificate is issued for a period of 5 years and the student only has to pass in all the modules prescribed for the completion of his/her degree to qualify for a certificate of Full Exemption. (There is no extra subject to be passed as is the case with OCC students)

RE-REGISTERING OCC STUDENTS;

1. They had to comply with the condition of the OCC in the previous year of registration.

2. If the condition was fulfilled, the application for the issuing of a full exemption must be processed and the student may continue with his studies.

3. If the condition was not fulfilled, the student may not continue with his studies. The only exception will be to allow the student to register for the modules required to fulfil the condition for non-degree purposes. These are the only modules he/she will be allowed to take.

ALSO NOTE THAT NO STUDENT IS ALLOWED TO GRADUATE UNLESS A CERTIFICATE OF FULL EXEMPTION IS ISSUED, WHICH COVERS ALL MODULES PASSED FOR THE DEGREE.

26

Ordinary conditional exemption (OCC) (not NSC/NCV students) • Some students who sit for a full exemption (senior certificate with

endorsement) may fail one subject or have an outstanding grouping requirement and are not issued with a full exemption but rather a “Conditional Exemption”.

• these students qualify for an Ordinary Conditional exemption from the Matriculation Endorsement and can be admitted to degree/diploma studies • in order to confirm whether a student qualifies for an OCC:

* The student’s STD10 STATEMENT OF SYMBOLS would indicate Pass Standard 10 (conditional Exemption) – OR “Candidate may, on application with the Matric Board qualify for a conditional exemption certificate. Contact the Board at......”

NB: A statement of symbols indicating 'Pass Senior certificate with

MERIT' does NOT mean conditional exemption or full exemption, although "Pass Senior Certificate with DISTINCTION" will qualify the bearer for full exemption.

♣ The student registering for degree must supply the following items for the

application for ordinary conditional exemption:

M30 filled in by student Original statement of symbols print from SCR if possible) Certified copy of ID/birth certificate/passport Certified copy of marriage certificate/divorce decree (if applicable) Application fee (R170.00 for 2011 academic year) Duration: 1 year period.

Condition: Pass outstanding subject as set by Matric Board before full-

exemption can be issued and completed degree can be conferred.

NB: Flag 371 to be set when processing application for OCC and only to be removed after full exemption has been issued. As from 2009 no student studying under cover of ordinary conditional exemption will be allowed to re-register, unless the OCC condition has been fulfilled. (Senate ruling October 2006)

Student will be allowed to re-register for NDP to help them meet the condition if the modules are available at UNISA. Please contact AME Sunnyside if you are not sure about how a student must go about fulfilling the condition. Also see subjects and groups on next page.
