The normative units are calculated based on the qualification type headcount enrolments for a specific year.
The qualification type headcount enrolments are multiplied by the graduation benchmark as well as the weight for the qualification type to determine the normative teaching output units.
To determine the teaching development units the actual teaching output units are subtracted from the normative teaching output units. If the answer is positive, i.e. less actual teaching output units were generated a development grant can be awarded.

- 2003 Funding Framework implemented in 2004/05. - Performance based funding framework.- Majority of funding allocated as block grant – used at
discretion of Council for funding teaching and learning activities of the university. R19,561bn for 2014/15.
- Earmarked grants allocated for specific purposes and most subject to annual progress reports and audit certificates. R8,509bn of which R3,915bn is allocated to NSFAS for universities.
- Funding Review undertaken and report submitted to Minister. Report was released 28 Feb 2014. Technical Team and Reference Group were appointed in Feb to model recommendations and draft a revised funding framework.

The aim of these funds is to provide financial support to all universities to improve their graduation rate (the graduation rate is the number of student graduate heads relative to the head count of enrolled students in a particular year).
Weigh the FTE unsuccessful students of the universities having low success rates and larger proportions of unsuccessful FTE students with a maximum weighting of 1,5.

- In the Funding Review a recommendation has been made to provide additional funding to disadvantaged institutions. An amount of R410,743 million in 2015/16 has been set aside for a new factor that will be linked to disadvantage. The distribution of this fund first need to be modeled and approved before details are provided.
