Admission Criteria

To be eligible for admission into the Degree in Adult Education and Community Development, an applicant shall

programmes shall be an National Senior Secondary Certificate (NSSC), provided that the candidate has
passed five subjects, normally in not more than three examination sittings with a minimum of 25 points (to
be reviewed annually) on the UNAM Evaluation Scale.
The following will be taken into consideration when
computing the point scores:

• the score will be calculated by adding together the points of the best five subjects only
• one of the five subjects must be English
• should a specific subject be a prerequisite for entry to a faculty, that subject must also be
  one of the five subjects counted.

grade C or better, or at NSSC (English as a First Language) grade D or better.
