Acknowledgements
The following staff members of DISA provided valuable help and support in preparing the examination results information and this presentation:
– Herbert Zemann– Hanlie Liebenberg– Yuraisha Chetty– Esme Wiid– Herman Visser– Elsabe Scheepers– Refiloe Sefadi
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
Exam Results Views
•Exam Pass RatePassed/Wrote (for a particular sitting)
•Purpose: Review of assessment validity•Includes: Students across academic years•Highest rate: Average 2005-8 = 56,1%
Exam Sitting View
•Course Success RatePassed/Nett Enrolments
•Purpose: Retention/Attrition tracking – includes cancellations and non-activity
•Includes: Single academic year only•Middle rate: Average 2005-8 = 54,8%
Course Success View
•Degree Credit Success RateWeighted FTEs/Nett Enrolments
•Purpose: Subsidy income & statutory reporting •Includes: Single academic year only•Lowest rate: Average 2005-8 = 53,3%

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
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
