The DHERST Grace Period offers a unique opportunity for current Grade 12 students to make informed decisions for their School Leavers Form (SLF). Unlike previous years, students can now adjust their choices based on their exam marks during this period.

DHERST Online Application System (NOAS)
The National Online Application System (NOAS) significantly enhances the selection process. It provides students with upfront clarity by highlighting ineligible options in red, minimizing the risk of mistakes. Students can make up to five choices, increasing their chances of getting into a tertiary institution.
Previously, the manual SLF allowed only three choices and did not permit changes after submission.
Grade 12 students should maximize the Grace Period to secure a spot for 2024 at a tertiary institution.
Key Dates (expected) 2024/2025
The following important dates are crucial for examinations, results, and selections in Papua New Guinea:
- Mid-December 2024: DHERST launches the 2024 selection for the 2025 academic year. Early-December 2024: NOAS Grace Period.
- Second Week of December 2024: The Education Department, through MSD, releases Grade 12 Exam Results to DHERST.

Importance of the Grace Period
The Grace Period lasts five days, during which Grade 12 students should adjust their choices. DHERST will indicate eligibility on NOAS based on examination marks.
Here’s what DHERST says about the importance of the Grace Period:
"This [Grace Period] is a crucial period where you will start making your choices based on your final grade 12 results. Ensure to access your account during the mentioned dates. If you see a red highlight in any of your five choices under 'My Choices,' this means your final result has not met the minimum program requirement set by the institution. Therefore, you must change the red highlighted choice to a different program available in your program list."
The online selection is quick. Grade 12 students have around five days to adjust their choices to more suitable ones. DHERST will not grant access to make changes after this period. The Grace Period's due date is final.
