The University of Fort Hare (UFH) adds up points for all seven<\/strong> of your NSC subjects, including Life Orientation, on an 8-point scale. Life Orientation counts, but it can add at most 4 points. The minimums for 2027 entry come from UFH’s 2027 Study Guide<\/a>, and the scoring rules from its 2026 General Prospectus<\/a>, the latest edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to calculate your UFH APS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Take your final (or Grade 11 or mid-year Grade 12) percentage for each of your seven NSC subjects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Turn each percentage into points with the table below. Anything under 30% scores 0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. For Life Orientation, use a maximum of 4 points even if your mark is higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Add all seven subjects together. That total is your UFH APS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    UFH’s online APS calculator on its application page uses a 7-point version of this table and does not cap Life Orientation. The prospectus is the formal rule, so check your score against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    English 65% (5), isiXhosa 72% (6), Mathematics 55% (4), Physical Sciences 58% (4), Life Sciences 63% (5), Geography 48% (3) and Life Orientation 80% (capped at 4) give an APS of 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
