Students with disabilities
Unisa’s Advocacy and Resource Centre for Students with Disabilities (ARCSWiD) assists and supports students with
disabilities. Should you require assistance, please indicate the nature of your disability on your registration form and
contact ARCSWiD as soon as possible. Also complete the special assistance form, ARCSWiD01. (You’ll find it further
into in this brochure.) This enables ARCSWiD to plan the measures necessary to support your needs. Should you need
further information about ARCSWID, please contact

Q&A
How do I get an academic record or credit certificate? Complete the prescribed form and submit it to Unisa.
Can I transfer from another university to Unisa? Yes, except if you were excluded/suspended from a prior
institution of higher education on grounds of misconduct. You need to apply to Unisa first, however. Please go to
the Unisa website (http://www.unisa.ac.za/study) for the dates for the next application period.
Can I register with Unisa and another university simultaneously? Only if the qualification you register
for at Unisa is for non-degree purposes, and that you have written permission from the other university allowing
concurrent registration. You must submit this written permission at the point of registration. Remember too, if you
do not have a Unisa student number you first need to apply.
Can I register for two or more formal programmes at Unisa simultaneously? Unfortunately not.
When can I register for a module if I was registered before and did not write the exam for the
module? After the official release of the exam results for that exam period, but before the appropriate closing date.
