Terms of use
Using AskSmarty means you accept the following. This is information about how the site works, not legal advice.
Information only
AskSmarty is an information guide. We help you find programmes, estimate your APS, and reach the right official portal. We do not process applications, make admission decisions, or take payment.
Not affiliated
AskSmarty is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any university, college, or the Central Applications Office (CAO). Institution names and codes are used descriptively to identify programmes.
Accuracy and official sources
We build our data from official prospectuses and sources and update it regularly, but requirements, dates, and fees change. We make no warranty that every detail is current or error-free. Always confirm on the official institution or CAO source before you rely on anything or apply.
The APS calculator
The calculator gives an estimate based on the marks you enter and standard NSC point bands. Some institutions score differently, which we flag. An estimate is not an admission decision - only the institution can confirm whether you qualify.
Stay safe from scams
We never take payment and never ask for your application login. Apply and pay only on official portals. No legitimate body charges to release an offer or guarantee a space.
Liability
You use AskSmarty at your own discretion. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for decisions made or losses incurred based on information on this site. Outbound links to official portals are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for those sites.
