How does Fort Hare calculate APS?

Fort Hare uses best-7 aps with capped lo. UFH works from 7 subjects instead of the usual best 6. Life Orientation is included, but the LO contribution is capped below a full main-subject value. Because LO is capped, a very strong LO result helps, but not as much as a major academic subject.

Does Fort Hare include Life Orientation in APS?

Partially. Life Orientation is included, but the LO contribution is capped below a full main-subject value.

UFH uses the standard 42-point APS calculation based on your best 6 subjects excluding Life Orientation. That keeps the basic formula simple and comparable with many other public universities. The important part is matching that total to the programme and campus you want.

This APS calculator is for information only. We aim to be accurate based on public university requirements, but admission decisions are made by each university and may consider factors beyond APS scores.

We do not guarantee admission based on our calculations. Requirements may change, and universities may consider additional criteria such as:

  • Portfolio submissions, interviews, or entrance tests
  • Specific subject requirements and combinations
  • Language proficiency requirements
  • Availability of spaces in programs
