If you are a continuing university student, passing 50% of your registered modules meets NSFAS’s 2026 academic requirement. If you are at a TVET college, 50% is not enough: the 2026 criteria require continuing TVET students to pass 70% of the modules or courses they enrolled for, and to meet the subject rules for their programme.
