Through the system, applicants who want to apply for admission into higher education institutions are able to lodge applications online and be selected to programmes of their choice centrally. The selection processing is based on the minimum programme entry and other requirements of each institution in the country including admission capacity and other parameters. The decision on the actual admission of applicants is then made by the individual institutions through their Governing Boards and Senates. The Undergraduate Student Admission Guidebook is meant to provide the applicants with basic information on matters related to the entire process of admissions through the Central Admission System. The Guidebook indicates the programmes offered in each higher education institution as approved by TCU or NACTE. In addition, it indicates the minimum entry requirements, institutional capacity, fee structure for each programme, maximum loanable amount for programmes of national priority and other relevant information (For more information on Loans the applicants are advised to refer to the Guidelines and Criteria for Issuance of Student Loans and Grants for 2015/2016 academic year issued by the Higher Education Students’ Loans Board). The Guidebook provides a step-by-step procedure on how to apply through CAS using the Internet. Applicants are therefore, strongly advised to read the Admissions Guidebook before they start lodging their applications. For further inquiries, prospective applicants and the general public are advised to contact TCU or NACTE through the addresses indicated below: 1.
