REGISTRATION MADE EASIER AFTER UNISA STUDENTS FACED CHALLENGES

By -

The struggle of students every year when it is time to register continues and the University of South Africa infamously known for its bad administration is doing its best to assist them. 


Concealed factors including outstanding debts and the lack of funding prevent the students from being able to register.


The institution constantly has been under the water with its administration, giving students issues with their registration process. 


UNISA is aware of the inability of the students to register and the main source of this problem is outstanding fees it was idling until several students posted on social about how registering with UNISA is a nightmare. 


It released a statement that indicated how they have a new approach to resolving issues and there are exceptions in the registrations.


“These exceptions include allowing for students with a remainder of two modules and debt from 2022 to be allowed to register and complete their qualification and the submission of an Acknowledgment of Debt (AOD) form”, said UNISA’s Senior Media Officer Tommy Huma. 


As the second semester was about to begin, UNISA made a special effort to encourage students to register before the deadline they set just before the commencement of the second semester enabling a good environment. 


UNISA is the largest open distance learning institution in South Africa and Africa providing the working class and students who want to learn online an opportunity to do so. 


It has been in existence since 1873 and changed its name to the University of South Africa in 1916.


With all the administration complications preventing students from being registered, the institution informed everyone affected by the problem that they are working to ensure that they are assisted.


That makes things better as students can be encouraged that the new system approach can help. 


The institution withholding the results for the previous semester from students not only made it difficult to register but also delayed the registration process and they had to extend the deadline.


The main issue that led to students being unable to register is because they have unpaid debt and some do not have any funding.
