my Registration @ Unisa 2013 - University of South Africa

Study pack delivery options
Before completing the registration process, please select how you would like your first study material pack to
be delivered to you
• courier • post
This only applies to the first study pack. Subsequent material will be sent via ordinary mail service to the South African Post
Office. Once you have registered, you may register on myUnisa (http://my.unisa.ac.za) to access and download your study
material online. Study material is also available on CD, free of charge, at certain of Unisa’s offices.
Courier: We recommend this option. (There is no additional fee to courier your study material.) Please provide Unisa with
your cellphone number and a physical delivery address.
Post: Provide Unisa with a correct address, suburb and postal code to avoid unnecessary delays. You’ll receive a SMS and a
parcel notification from the Post Office informing you that the parcel is ready for collection. Remember to take your ID with you
when you collect it from the Post Office. If you do not collect the package it will be returned to Unisa.
* From 2013, study material for second semester modules will only be sent to you at the start
of the second semester.
Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
Unisa’s RPL programme allows you to apply for recognition and credits for skills and knowledge acquired outside
of formal learning programmes. Your skill and knowledge will be evaluated and, if found to be relevant, you may be
granted the appropriate credits, thereby reducing your study time. Interested? Please send an e-mail to rpl@unisa.ac.za.
