If your NSFAS status is marked as “provisionally funded,” it generally means that your application was initially approved based on the information provided. However, because you did not secure a place at any university, the funding was not finalised. When you apply next year, you will likely need to submit a new application for NSFAS funding. It’s important to ensure all your documents are up-to-date and accurate for your new application. Your previous provisional status should not negatively impact your eligibility for future applications, provided you meet all the necessary criteria.

When considering a switch to a different course after having completed some university study, universities in South Africa generally focus on your university credits and grades from the course you have been enrolled in.

Some programmes, especially those that are highly competitive or have specific subject prerequisites, might still review both your university and matric performance to assess your eligibility.
It’s advisable to check the specific entry requirements of the new course you wish to pursue. You can find detailed information about individual university requirements on their official websites or by contacting the admissions office directly.

However, competitive courses often demand higher marks.
To determine if you qualify for your desired program, it’s best to check the specific admission requirements of each university and course. You can use APS (Admission Point Score) calculators to assess your qualification level. For more information, visit [APS Calculators](https://apply.org.za/aps).
