The table aligns multiple qualification systems and subject grading outcomes to the UFS formula across South African and international examination authorities. It serves as a guideline reflecting minimum admission requirements, while admission remains dependent on programme space, academic results, and any additional applicable requirements. It also includes notes and abbreviation definitions for referenced qualifications and symbols.","CONVERSIONTABLE  \nThe UFS uses a conversion table to help us consider all applications equally. If you are an international and/or  \nhome-schooled prospective student, use the conversion table below to calculate your admission point (AP) . The table applies to all examination authorities/bodies in South Africa and internationally (upload international results as symbols) .  \nThe conversion table below reflects the minimum admission requirements and is a guideline only. Meeting the minimum admission requirements for your chosen/intended programme of study does not guarantee admission, as  \nlimited space is available in each programme. Final selection is subject to the availability of space, academic results, and other admission requirements where applicable.  \n\n| UFS Formula\u003Cbr>equivalent to\u003Cbr>NSC |  | RSA\u003Cbr>NSC\u003Cbr>IEB | RSA Matriculated\u003Cbr>before 2008 |  | GCSE\u003Cbr>*Refer to Note 1 |  | HIGCSE/\u003Cbr>NSSC HL | AS Level | A Level | IB |  | KOMBI\u003Cbr>ABITUR | KCSE | RSA NCV %\u003Cbr>(Performance Level) |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  | HG | SG | CIE\u003Cbr>O-Level\u003Cbr>IGCSE\u003Cbr>NSSC (OL)\u003Cbr>LGCSE\u003Cbr>BGCSE\u003Cbr>SGCSE\u003Cbr>CGCE\u003Cbr>UCE\u003Cbr>NECO\u003Cbr>WAEC\u003Cbr>ZIMSEC\u003Cbr>(0-level) | UK\u003Cbr>England\u003Cbr>Wales\u003Cbr>Northern\u003Cbr>Ireland |  | GCE\u003Cbr>CIE\u003Cbr>NSSC AS | GCE\u003Cbr>CIE\u003Cbr>CGCE\u003Cbr>UACE\u003Cbr>WAEC\u003Cbr>ZIMSEC | IB SL | IB HL |  |  |  |  |\n| 10 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | A*\u003Cbr>(90%+) |  | 7 |  |  |  |  |\n| 9 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | A\u003Cbr>(80-89%) |  | 6 |  |  |  |  |\n| 8 | 90–\u003Cbr>100% | 90%+ | A\u003Cbr>(80%+) |  | A* | 9 | 1\u003Cbr>(80%+) | A* | B\u003Cbr>(70-79%) | 7 | 5 | 90-\u003Cbr>100% | 80-\u003Cbr>100% |  |  |\n| 7 | 80-\u003Cbr>89% | 80-\u003Cbr>89% | B\u003Cbr>(70%) |  | A | 8 or 7 | 2\u003Cbr>(70-79%) | A | C\u003Cbr>(60-69%) | 6 | 4 | 80-\u003Cbr>89% | 70-\u003Cbr>79% | 7\u003Cbr>(80-100%) | 5\u003Cbr>(80-100%) |\n| 6 | 70-\u003Cbr>79% | 70-\u003Cbr>79% | C\u003Cbr>(60%) | A\u003Cbr>(80%) | B | 6 or 5 | 3\u003Cbr>(60-69%) | B | D\u003Cbr>(50-59%) | 5 | 3 | 70-\u003Cbr>79% | 60-\u003Cbr>69% | 6\u003Cbr>(70-79%) | 4\u003Cbr>(70-79%) |\n| 5 | 60-\u003Cbr>69% | 60-\u003Cbr>69% | D\u003Cbr>(50%) | B\u003Cbr>(70%) | C | 4 |  | C | E\u003Cbr>(40-49%) | 4 | 2 | 60–\u003Cbr>69% | 50-\u003Cbr>59% | 5\u003Cbr>(60-69 %) |  |\n| 4 | 50-\u003Cbr>59% | 50-\u003Cbr>59% | E\u003Cbr>(40%) | C\u003Cbr>(60%) |  | 3 | 4\u003Cbr>(50-59%) | D |  | 3 | 1 | 50–\u003Cbr>59% | 40-\u003Cbr>49% | 4\u003Cbr>(50-59%) |  |\n| 3 | 40-\u003Cbr>49% | 40-\u003Cbr>49% | F\u003Cbr>(33%) | D\u003Cbr>(50%) |  | 2 |  | E |  | 2 |  | 40–\u003Cbr>49% | 30–\u003Cbr>39% |  | 3\u003Cbr>(50–69%) |\n| 2 | 30-\u003Cbr>39% | 30-\u003Cbr>39% | FF\u003Cbr>(20%) | E\u003Cbr>(40%) |  |  |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  |  | 2\u003Cbr>(40–49%) |\n| 1 | - | - | - | - |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nUFS Level  \nUFS %  \nFundamental  \nVocational  \n*Note 1: These qualifications will be considered only for conditional study offers.
