WSU Admission Point System (APS)

The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Law endeavors to use a point system for admissions. The achievement levels are then translated into points for each NSC subject. Points will be used to calculate the total Admission Point Score (APS).

The minimum APS required for a Bachelor’s degree is 26. For the Bachelor of Laws, the APS is 34.
The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Law Admissions Committee considered the administration of admission point scores as proposed by Usaf. The Committee appreciates the breakdown made in the achievement levels as this advantages a student whose performance is better than others.

Based on the Usaf proposal, the points are awarded as in the following example:

NSC Percentage per Subject Points
91% 9.1
86% 8.6
82% 8.2
79% 7.9
64% 6.4
55% 5.5
43% 4.3
39% 3.9
31% 3.1
30% 3.0
29% 2.9
28% 2.8
27% 2.7
26% 2.6
25% 2.5

WSU Law Requirements 2025-WSU Admission Requirements

The purpose of the above split is to assist departments in admitting students according to their performance as opposed to the previous point system where a learner who scores 70% and one who scores 79% would both attain points.
It should be noted that this scoring system excludes Life Orientation and Mathematical Literacy.  Points for these two are allocated as follows:

NSC % per Subject   Points
90 – 100%   5
80 – 89%   4
70 – 79%   3
60 – 69%   2
50 – 59%   1
40 – 49%   0
30 – 39%   0
0 – 29%   0
