How does UniZulu calculate APS?
UniZulu uses standard best-6 aps. Your best 6 NSC subjects are converted to APS points using the standard bands: 80-100% = 7, 70-79% = 6, 60-69% = 5, 50-59% = 4, 40-49% = 3, 30-39% = 2, and 0-29% = 1. Life Orientation is excluded from the core APS total. UniZulu generally follows the standard best-6 approach, but faculty cut-offs and CAO-linked processes still shape the real admission decision.
Does UniZulu include Life Orientation in APS?
No. Life Orientation is excluded from the core APS total.
