Failing A Course As A Beneficiary Of NSFAS

Failing a course can have consequences for a student’s NSFAS funding. NSFAS has established policies and regulations to address issues related to academic performance. According to the NSFAS policy agreement, students must pass at least 50% of their modules as well as complete their institution’s academic criteria to continue receiving financial aid during their study time.

 

Consequences That May Occur Failing A Course As A Beneficiary Of NSFAS

Initial failure:

  • Generally, NSFAS recognizes that students may encounter academic difficulties, and they provide an opportunity for students to recover from a single failed course.

Recurring failures:

  • NSFAS closely monitors students’ academic progress. If a student continues to fail courses, the scheme may reassess their eligibility for ongoing funding. In such instances, NSFAS might require the student to provide a satisfactory explanation for their academic struggles or participate in academic support programs aimed at improving their performance.

Termination of funding:

  • In severe cases where a student consistently fails courses and fails to meet the required academic standards, NSFAS may decide to terminate their funding. This determination is typically made following a comprehensive evaluation of the student’s academic history and attempts made to provide support.

Eligibility Criteria For Applying For NSFAS Application

  • South African Citizenship or Permanent Residency
  • SASSA grant recipients
  • Applicants whose combined gross household income is not more than R350 000 per year
