**5.1 Eligibility for a HEAC programme**

Eligible students for admission to HEAC program are those who did not meet the national minimum statutory requirements for direct entry into university for degree or diploma courses. Additionally, foreign students whose qualifications are not considered equivalent to the Uganda's national qualification, but which allow university entry into their country-of-origin national exam. The HEAC programme is also designed to enroll holders of vocational qualifications and expose them to rigorous theoretical foundations that will enable them to pursue desired diploma or degree programs.
