What is Matriculation?
A matriculation qualification or certificate is a pre-university quali-fication. A Grade 12 certificate from a National High or Secondary School is an example of a matriculation certificate. Admission into a university or college and most employment organizations re-quire a matriculation qualification. A matriculation qualification also gives you the edge over others, whether in job application, promotions or further training because of your knowledge and improved skills. Grade 12 Upgrading is part of matriculation and students will only issued Transcript and the end of each Semester.
A matriculation level qualification is ‘the’ fundamental educational foundation that best equips a student to be more able to succeed in the pursuit of a future career. A matriculation certificate or Tran-script is the key qualification that opens up the closed door to a world of career choices for a student.
The Adult Matriculation Program offers:
• Grade 12 Upgrading ( Gr.12)
• Pre – Matriculation (Gr.10 Upgrade)
• Adult Matriculation (Gr. 11 & 12)
UNIVERSITY STUDIES AFTER MATRICULATION
Graduating matriculation students from SMSC (in conjunction
with DODL-Unitech) are eligible to apply and be accepted by
the universities in PNG and Overseas. However, to have a realistic
chance of being accepted, one must definitely score A or B
grades in the majority of matriculation studies.
