UNISA STUDENTS URGED TO REGISTER IMMEDIATELY

By -


PRETORIA - The University of South Africa (UNISA) encourages students to complete their second-semester registration prior to the deadline in order to continue their studies.


UNISA has made registration easier for returning and new students by providing them with assistance and support during registration from designated staff members, through direct communication channels such as telephone and SMS’s.


In a statement released by UNISA, the Senior Media Officer, Tommy Huma said, “The university is aware that some students are unable to complete their registration as a result of outstanding and unpaid debt”.


The institution claims that, in an attempt to resolve this issue, they have made some exceptions. “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 Mr Huma.


The new method of registration comes after many students from the institution had issues with registration. This is to create an enabling environment for all students to register successfully, before the closing date. 


“NSFAS students who are still waiting for funding confirmation will be granted the same arrangements but terms and conditions will apply”, said Mr Huma. 


The institution encourages students to cooperate with them by answering calls and text messages, so they are notified about their progress. 


“Relevant university officials are working around the clock to ensure that the outstanding results from the May/June 2023 examinations are released as a matter of emergency”, added UNISA Senior Media Officer, Tommy Huma. 


The university claims that approximately 3% of examination results remain outstanding currently, and these are expected to be released before the registration closing date, this year. Undergraduate qualifications, honours degrees, postgraduate diplomas, MBA and MBL qualifications are also expected to close on this date. 



The University of South Africa (UNISA) is the largest and longest-lasting distance learning in Africa and the world, founded 150 years ago, resulting in a long history. A number of faculties are available at the university, including those for political studies, communication, and accountancy. Since Unisa is a place that has a reputation for being a supporter of distance learning, the institution is well renowned for its leading exponents of this learning style.
