QUALIFICATION EVALUATION
If you have an international qualification and you are applying for non degree studies (higher
certificates or diplomas, honours or any other postgraduate qualification), you are required to have
your qualification(s) evaluated by the Directorate: International Qualifications Evaluation and Advisory
Services (DFQEAS) at the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) to ensure that you have the
equivalent to the South African National Senior Certificate (NSC) at NQF level 4, for higher certificate and
diploma studies; NQF level 7 for honours and postgraduate diploma studies. A certified copy of this SAQA
certificate of evaluation is required. In addition, you must present a copy of your Academic Transcript as
we need to check if you are meeting any additional programme specific requirements.
The SAQA application form is available at: https://dfqeas.saqa.co.za/dfqeas/user/home
SAQA online applications can be made at: http://saqa.org.za/show.php?id=5741
If you have an international qualification and you are applying to study towards a degree you are required
to apply to Universities South Africa (USAf) for an exemption certificate (http://he-enrol.ac.za/). A certified
copy of this certificate is required for registration purposes.
Applying for qualification evaluations timeously is important as there is usually a waiting period of at least
two months. In addition, you must present a copy of your Academic Transcript as we need to check if you
are meeting any additional programme specific requirements.
Failure to submit the required documentation can result in an incomplete or pending registration,
your student record being placed on hold and ultimately deregistration. Please ensure you comply by
submitting the required documentation timeously.
