When and how do I pay tuition fees and which payment options are available?

We offer several payment options that guardians are able to select for their convenience. Please refer to our fees handbook for detailed information about this.

Do you accept international Adult Matric learners?

We welcome Adult Matric learners from all around the world to join our global classroom. Please note that UCT Online High School operating hours are fixed and are in South African Standard Time (SAST). If you live in a time zone with a 6-hour (or greater) time difference to South Africa, please speak to our Admissions Consultants for more details.

Please note:

Adult Matric learners from outside of South Africa will need their passport, visa and a study permit when entering South Africa to write their final ASC examinations. This will need to be shown at the examination venue before writing your final matric.

How will I receive feedback on my application?

An email with an application outcome outlining whether you have been accepted or not will be sent to you once the process is complete.

What is the difference between an Adult Matric qualification, the Amended Senior Certificate (ASC), and a high school matric, the National Senior Certificate (NSC)?

A high school matric qualification is the National Senior Certificate (NSC) available only to high school learners under 21 years of age. This is the traditional way of obtaining your Grade 12/matric. An Adult Matric qualification is the Amended Senior Certificate (ASC). This is when adult learners complete their matric qualification outside of the basic schooling system and is awarded to adults, 21 years old and older.

Can I write my final matric examination at my home?

No, you cannot. You will have to write your ASC examinations in person at a registered venue identified by the Department of Basic Education (DBE).

If I apply, will I have a guaranteed placement at UCT Online High School?

No, placement is not guaranteed. However, we look at every application holistically and strive to be as inclusive as possible.

Who can I speak with if I would like some more information?

How often do examinations and or Cycle Tests take place?

Typically, there are two sets of internal examinations per subject, per grade, held in the 2nd and 4th terms. These examinations will summatively test the content covered up to that point. Some subjects supplement the 2 examinations with Cycle Tests in terms 1 and 3.

In Grade 12/matric, high school learners will write external exams in term 3 and term 4.
