• What is the NOAS Grace Period?
  As you will have already been informed by your School, you can find out if you are eligible for your study choices based on your Grade 12 final marks before you finalise your school leaver application. The period in which you can do this is known as the ’NOAS Grace Period’.
  
  
  
• I don't understand. Could you please clarify this ‘Grace Period'?
  After the Grade 12 final marks have been returned to the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science, and Technology in early December, you will have a grace period on the NOAS of 48 hours on the 10th - 11th December to log in, check your eligibility and change your choices if need be.
  
  

• Where can I adjust my choices?
  Log in to the National Online Application System (NOAS) using your unique credentials provided previously by your school.
  
  

• How will I know if my marks did NOT meet the minimum requirements for the choices I applied for?
  On the 10th - 11th December, after you log in to the NOAS, go to MyChoice Section. For any choices to which your final marks did not meet the minimum requirement, it will be HIGHLIGHTED IN RED. You can then proceed to adjust your choice accordingly.
