SELECTION PROCEDURE The Faculty has limited capacity, both full-time and part-time. This implies that, should the number of applicants meeting the minimum requirements exceed capacity, a selection procedure must be applied. The following are the three core elements of this selection system: · Candidates who satisfy the minimum requirements and who apply before the official closing date receive preference. Should these applications exceed the capacity, however, selection is done on academic grounds using the rating system and the results of the aptitude tests. · Late applications are only considered where capacity is available. Selection of late applications who satisfy the minimum requirements is done on the basis of first come, first served. · Final acceptance is based on official Grade 12 results. Selection based on other school results (e.g. November Grade 11 results) is provisional and subject to official Grade 12 results.
