In South Africa, Life Orientation (LO) is generally included in the calculation of your Admission Point Score (APS) for university admission, but it does not carry the same weight as other subjects. Typically, universities cap the points awarded for LO at a lower value than those for other subjects. For example, while subjects like Mathematics and Physical Science may contribute up to 7 points, Life Orientation might only contribute up to 3 points.

It’s important to check the specific APS calculation requirements of the university you are applying to, as these can vary. To find out more about how Life Orientation factors into the APS for your chosen university, you can use the APS calculators available at [UniApplyForMe APS Calculators](https://apply.org.za/aps) or check specific university APS requirements using the tool at [https://apply.org.za/aps/{university abbreviation}](https://apply.org.za/aps/{university abbreviation}).
