Up until March 2018, the minimum requirement for admission to degree studies at a higher
education institution was subject to a list of subjects known as the designated subject list.'
To gain entry into degree studies, learners had to obtain a minimum of a 50% achievement
rating in four designated subjects.
However, on 2 March 2018 the designated list was revoked through by the Department of

Orientation which is used differently by universities based on their contexts). The minimum
admission requirements for degree study have been changed so as to require an
achievement of 50% or more in any four subjects from the recognized 20-credit subject list.
