In order to qualify for a National Senior Certificate, a learner must achieve: A minimum rating of 3 i.e. 40% or more, in 3 subjects. One of the 3 subjects must be an official language at Home Language level. A minimum rating of 2 i.e. 30% or more, in 3 other subjects.
It is compulsory for a learner to pass an official language at home language level i.e. at 40% or above.
If a learner offers more than the minimum number of 7 subjects, passes in the additional subjects will be taken into account when determining whether a learner has met the minimum requirements.
In order to qualify for entry into further study at the Higher Certificate level, a learner must: 
Pass the NSC
Meet the language requirement for further study at a South African institution, namely, one of the two official languages offered by learner must be either English or Afrikaans. To meet the language criterion to qualify for entry to study at a tertiary education institution, the learner must pass either English or Afrikaans at least at the 1st additional level i.e. at 30% or more.
In order to qualify for entry into further study at the Diploma level, a learner must: 
Pass the NSC as follows: One official language at home language level at 40%, 3 other subjects at 40%, 2 subjects at 30%
Meet the language requirement for further study at a South African institution, namely, one of the two official languages offered by learner must be either English or Afrikaans. To meet the language criterion to qualify for entry to study at a tertiary education institution, the learner must pass either English or Afrikaans at least at the 1st additional level i.e. at 30% or more.
The key difference between qualifying for entry to diploma study rather than higher certificate study is that the learner must achieve 40% or more in 4 subjects (incl. the official language at home language level) rather than just 3 subjects.
In order to qualify for entry into further study at the Bachelor Degree level, a learner must: 
Pass the NSC as follows: One official language at home language level at 40% or more, 4 subjects from the designated list of subjects at 50% or more, 2 subjects at a minimum of 30%

In respect of music, it is only the National Senior Certificate Music course that is considered a designated subject. At this stage no other music courses are considered designated. They are recognised as NSC subjects but are not considered to be 'designated' for the purpose of qualification for degree studies.
Non-designated subjects may contribute towards the Admission Points Score (APS) and may be recognised as an institution or faculty specific entry requirement. Learners must check their results against specific institutional requirements for the course of study they wish to follow.
Specific institutional and programme needs may have a specific language requirement, a specific level of performance in Life Orientation or require appropriate combinations of recognised National Senior Certificate subjects and levels of achievement. Learners must check their results against specific institutional requirements for the course of study they wish to follow.
