  3. Introduction • As part of its “calendarised” reporting outputs, DISA has been considering the optimal way of reporting various institutional processes, including exam results • After consulting with relevant stakeholders, we propose that the exam results are reported in three distinct views, namely: • The Exam Sitting view • The Course Success view • The Degree Credit Success view (see below) • This update presents the latest available exam results for the 2009 October/November sitting, compared to the equivalent results for the years 2005-8

  13. Key Findings • 2009 Oct/Nov EPR slightly up (from 55,58% in 2008 to 55,75%), reflecting a moderate upward trend since 2005 • Despite this increase, Unisa should target at least a 60% average EPR. This would allow us to achieve and supercede the Ministerial target of 56% which applies to the Degree Credit Success Rate • Amongst the Colleges, CLAW dropped by 6,58%, CAES by 3,49% and CHS by 0,34%. However, CHS remained dominant with a 71,92% EPR. CEMS increased by 2,83% • Africans showed an increase of 1,23% to 51,70%, with all other race groups showing slight decreases. However, Whites were still dominant with a 67,13% EPR in 2009

  14. Key Findings • Female students remained dominant with a 58,49% EPR in 2009, thus showing a steady increase each year from 54,13% in 2005. Males showed a slight decline of 1,92% between 2008 and 2009 • Significantly, African and white females showed increases, while a significant gap between white male and white female achievement was evident. The reasons for this should be investigated • The apparent decline in PG should be also investigated • Attrition and failure will be systematically addressed as part of retention and success initiative
