In addition, this Guidebook has the following information: Important dates to be adhered to during the application process; List of CAS participating institutions; codes for each programme; Minimum entry requirements for each programme; Application fees and procedures for payment; Maximum loanable amount for priority programmes (For more information on s refer to Issuance of s Guidelines and Criteria for academic year 2016/2017 issued by HESLB); Categories of applicants eligible to use the Central Admission System; Procedure for application through Internet Other services offered by the Central Admission System. 2.0 Admission into Higher Learning Institutions for Diploma/FTC applicants The admission into higher Learning institutions will be done through Central Admission System.

NOTE: 1. Applicants are advised to read carefully the admission requirements of each programme they anticipate to apply in the Undergraduate Students Admission Guidebook before finalizing the application process in order to avoid problems that may arise due to failure to follow appropriate instructions. 2. Diploma holders who do not have at least a GPA of 3.5 or average of B+ are advised NOT to apply as they do not meet the minimum requirements to be enrolled in any degree programme offered by higher education institutions. 3.

Types of Higher Education Delivery Modes Applicants should note that there are two modes of higher education delivery, namely, Conventional or Regular mode and Open and Distance Learning (ODL). Conventional mode of programme delivery is classroom-based while Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is a mode where there are no regular classes. Students under the ODL mode conduct their study using selfinstruction materials and structured face-to-face interaction with their lecturers or instructors. Applicants should thus bear in mind that all programmes offered by the Open University of Tanzania (OUT) are delivered through ODL mode. There are no regular classes or continuous interaction with lecturers/instructors at the Open University of Tanzania. 2
