my Walk @ Unisa 

Congratulations, you are on Level 2 of your walk at Unisa. This brochure will help you take the next step towards 

becoming a registered student. 

1 Choose & apply 

During this stage, you confirmed that you have the necessary abilities and supportive personal circumstances 

to study at an open distance learning university, confirmed that you met the minimum admission requirements 

for Unisa, chose a qualification and made sure you met the admission criteria for that specific qualification, and 

submitted an application form to Unisa. 

2 Register (you are here) 

If your application to Unisa was successful, you will have received a registration pack that you will use during your 

registration process. 

Use the pre-populated form and the course information for the qualification for which you applied to complete your 

registration. Registration can be done via the web, post, or in person at a self-help terminal at one of the regional 

offices or campuses. 

NB: This phase must be completed otherwise you will not be eligible to write exams or receive any credits for 

work done in the year. 

3 Teach & learn 

After registration you will receive a study pack from Unisa. This will include your study material and a brochure 

called my Studies @ Unisa. This is where your studies begin. The my Studies @ Unisa brochure includes orientation 

information and study advice that will aid your success at Unisa. You will also find out how to access your study 

material online. 

4 Graduate & lifelong learning 

You will progress to my Link @ Unisa once you have graduated and will join the group of Unisa alumni. During this 

phase you can choose to remain in contact with the university and other alumni. 

In keeping with Unisa’s philosophy of lifelong learning and giving back, we encourage our alumni to remain in 

contact with the university not only for the networking and academic opportunities that present themselves, but 

also to participate in the education of new students in a mentorship role. 

Let’s begin the journey with Step 2 – Register

Registration process 

There are eight steps to a successful registration. Each part of the process is important in completing your 

registration successfully. We have therefore included information that is important for you to know at each stage. 

Note: If you use the electronic channels (web or self-help terminals at the regional centres) to complete and submit 

your registration, you will be prompted when information is missing or incorrect, This will assist you in ensuring 

that you include all important details and upload all necessary documents when submitting your registration. 

If you choose to register by post, at the South African Post Office or by fax, the responsibility for the accuracy and 

inclusion of your information rests with you. We therefore urge you to register as soon as registration opens if you 

will be registering via one of these channels, as missing or incorrect information may cause delays in the approval of 

your registration.

Step 1 - Choose/confirm your qualification 

The first step in registration is confirming or choosing your qualification. In the choose & apply level you would have 

chosen a qualification, and checked that you met all minimum and qualification-specific admission requirements. 

If you are a returning Unisa student and wish to choose a new qualification, we suggest that you work through 

the information in the my Choice @ Unisa brochure. This information is also available on the Unisa website 

(http://www.unisa.ac.za). For ease of reference, we have included the statutory minimum admission requirements 

with which students will need to comply. If you do not meet these minimum admission criteria, please look at the 

conditions for exemption on the Unisa website. 

Bachelor’s degree 

To be able to register for a bachelor’s degree, you must hold one of the following certificates: 

National Senior Certificate with entry level: degree 

Senior Certificate with matriculation or university admission endorsement (exemption) 

Certificate of full or conditional exemption issued by the Matriculation Board of 

Higher Education South Africa (HESA) 

National Certificate (vocational) at level 4 with entry level: degree 

If you do not have an exemption certificate, please make contact with Unisa’s Access and Matriculation 

Exemption Office about whether you qualify for any other types of exemption certificates 

(eg on the grounds of foreign qualifications or post-school qualifications) 

Bachelor of Technology degree 

To be able to register for a Bachelor of Technology degree, you must hold an applicable National diploma. 

National diplomas 

To be able to register for a diploma, you must hold one of the following: 

National Senior Certificate with entry level: diploma/degree 

Senior or School Leaving Certificate with or without a matriculation exemption/endorsement, but with at 

least five subjects on higher and/or standard grade 

Qualify for a certificate of full or conditional exemption issued by the Matriculation Board of 

Higher Education South Africa (HESA) 

Standard 8 or Grade 10 certificate, be 23 years or older, and have 3 years work experience 

National Certificate (vocational) at level 4 with entry level: diploma/digree 

Non-degree purposes (NDP) 

To be able to register for any module for non-degree purposes, you must: 

Meet the admission requirements for the programme level on which the module is offered 

10

Important considerations 

Is there an examination venue near you? 

Have you checked that there is a Unisa exam venue close to where you live? Go to page 54 of this brochure and 

make sure that you will not have to travel long distances to get to an exam venue. Travelling long distances to an 

exam venue can be both demanding on you and expensive. 

Have you completed your education outside of South Africa and wish to register 

for a qualification through Unisa? 

Bachelor’s degree 

 

Exemption office at Unisa (ame@unisa.ac.za). 

All other qualifications, excluding master’s and doctoral qualifications 

 

 

This evaluation will need to accompany your registration. 

Have you checked whether your chosen qualification has a 

work-integrated learning component? 

Specific modules in qualifications offered at Unisa include a practical work component that must be completed in 

South Africa. This experience is called work-integrated learning or experiential learning, and must be completed 

under the supervision of a suitably qualified and experienced person. This experience is mandatory for passing that 

module and achieving your qualification. Please check, before registering, that you will be able to complete this 

practical work-integrated learning component. Students who do not have placement at an employer can contact 

the relevant academic department which will, in collaboration with the WIL and regional offices of Unisa, assist in 

finding the student a suitable employer to gain this experience.

Step 2 - Choose your modules 

Each qualification is structured over a defined period, usually between two and four academic years. To achieve your 

qualification, you will be expected to pass a defined total number of modules. These module choices are specified 

in the course information. You may not register for more than 120 credits per year and 60 credits per semester. 

Undergraduate modules usually consist of 12 NQF credits and honours modules usually consist of 24 NQF credits. 

Please ensure that your chosen modules do not clash in terms of examination dates. Please check the provisional 

examination timetable. 

NB: When you choose your modules, please remember that you will need between 6 and 8 hours per week for 

semester modules and between 4 and 6 hours per week for year modules. This means that for 3 semester modules 

you will need an average of 4 hours per day of study time, including one rest day. So choose wisely. Rather choose 

the number of modules that you know you can successfully pass than take on too many. 

You must pass the required number of credits per year: 

Minimum number of credits to be passed annually 

In your first year of study 36 

In your second or further years of study 48 

Important considerations 

What is recognition of prior learning (RPL) and do I qualify? 

Unisa’s RPL programme allows you to apply for recognition and credit for skills and learning acquired through 

means other than through formal learning programmes. Your skill and knowledge will be evaluated and if it is 

found to be relevant, you may be granted appropriate credits. RPL may thus make it possible for you to either gain 

access to or earn credits towards a Unisa qualification based on prior non-formal learning, thereby reducing your 

study time. If you are interested in RPL, please send an e-mail to rpl@unisa.ac.za. 

Do modules taken for non-degree purposes count towards the maximum number of credits? 

You may not register for more than 60 NQF credits in a semester, that is, not more than 5 modules per semester 

of 12 credits each. This does not include supplementary and/or aegrotat examinations which you may have been 

given in a previous academic year. Any modules taken for non-degree/non-diploma purposes also count as part 

of the 60 credits. Students registering for year modules may not register for more than 120 NQF credits per year. 

Please plan your studies in accordance with the above rules. 

How long do I have to complete my qualification? 

It is important to note that although you may study at your own pace, there is a maximum period within which 

you must complete your qualification. You must bear this in mind when selecting and structuring your modules per 

study year. 

Approved qualification duration 

You must complete the qualification within 

2 years 5 years

Course information 

Included in the registration pack is a college curriculum brochure. Find your qualification and then use the 

information in the curriculum that looks like the template below to choose your modules. Ensure that you meet all 

the pre-requisites and co-requisites.

Qualification code B Total NQF credits G 

Admission requirements 

C 

First level Second level Third level 

Compulsory and 

elective modules 

Pre/corequisites 

D E D E D E 

 

 

 

 

 

– Pre-requisites means that you must have passed that module and/or modules before you can 

take the selected module. 

– Co-requisites means that you must take the module indicated as a co-requisite with the specific module. 

 

 

How to use this information 

- Start by marking the modules you have already passed. 

- Then select the module(s) for which you plan to register in 2012. 

- Check that you meet the necessary pre-requisites for the modules for which you 

plan to register. If not, change your selection. 

- Check for co-requisites as well; you may need to change or add modules to 

meet the co-requisites. 

- Module codes change from time to time, so please check the table of equivalents for 

modules that you might have passed which had a different code previously. This table of 

equivalents is available on the Unisa website (http://www.unisa.ac.za). 


13

Step 3 - Calculate your fees 

It is important to assess the full cost of your studies before confirming your modules for registration. 

The cost includes: 

 

When registering, you will have to pay a prescribed minimum fee before your registration will be confirmed. 

This payment must be received by Unisa before the closing date for registration. The remainder of the 

fees must be paid by the prescribed due dates – please make sure that you meet these payment dates 

otherwise you will not be allowed to write exams. The fees and closing dates for payments for 2012 are 

available on page 22 of this brochure. 

 

Some modules have prescribed books which you will need to purchase for your studies. We suggest that you 

contact Unisa (012 429 4152; vospresc@unisa.ac.za) before you register to request an advance list of the 

prescribed books. You will then be able to request a quotation from one of Unisa’s official booksellers. This 

list is available on page 106 of this brochure. 

If you are registering via the web or the self-help terminals at a regional centre, you will be able to choose modules 

and calculate fees during the registration process. If you are registering by post, at a branch of the South African Post 

Office or by fax, we suggest that you use the fee tables in this brochure to calculate the fees and minimum payments 

before you register. 

NB: Detailed fees, closing dates for fee payments, methods of payment and indications of other 

study material costs are available in this brochure from page 22 to page 31. Please read this 

information carefully before you register. 

Step 4 - Confirm your modules 

Use the following checklist to confirm your modules for registration: 

Tick 

1 My modules do not exceed 60 credits per semester and 120 credits per year. 

2 I am sure that I have enough time per week to study for each of my modules 

(6-8 hours per week for semester modules). 

3 I have checked the pre-requisites and comply. 

4 I have checked the co-requisites and comply. 

5 I have checked the provisional examination timetable and there are no exam 

clashes for my chosen modules. 

6 I have calculated the study fees and I can afford to pay for my studies. 

7 I have checked the payment dates and I can meet the payments for my chosen modules. 

8 I have contacted Unisa for a list of prescribed books and have received a 

quotation from the booksellers. 

9 I can afford to pay for these books. 

You are now ready to complete and submit your registration form

Step 6 - Pay (student fees) 

Student fees 

The university will not accept cash or cheques at any of its offices. Cash may, however, still be paid into the 

university’s bank account, at any Standard Bank branch or at any branch of the South African Post Office. 

The government is currently investigating the subsidy for foreign students. Your attention is drawn to the fact that 

prescribed student fees could increase substantially in the future. The university reserves the right to charge fees in 

certain countries in the currency of that country. 

Prescribed student fees for 2012 

Fees are valid for the 2012 academic year only. Prescribed student fees include registration, examinations 

(excluding special, sick and supplementary examinations) and admission to discussion classes. 

 

 

 

- A minimum amount is payable on registration in respect of each module or paper for which you register. 

- The minimum amount payable on registration is dependent on the number of individual study units for which 

you register. 

- A minimum initial amount is payable for each module. Students applying for Matriculation Exemption must 

note that the Matriculation Exemption fee forms part of the minimum fee amount payable. 

- The minimum amount payable on registration will be forfeited should the relevant study unit be cancelled. 

- Note that compulsory miscellaneous fees, where applicable, are also payable on registration. These fees 

include the levy for students in foreign countries and levies for additional study material. After payment of the 

initial amount on registration, the outstanding balance must be paid before the relevant dates. 

- All fees must be paid into the correct allocation or else the university will not be able to process your registration. 

 

The levy for students in foreign countries must be paid in addition to the minimum initial payment on 

registration. A student must be in possession of a student number before registration can be processed or 

fees paid or deposited into the Standard Bank account. The fees for all fourth-level modules will be charged 

the same as for honours-level modules. 

Any legal fees that arise due to actions taken by Unisa to collect unpaid student fees will be for the 

account of the student. 

NB: Please note that the University no longer banks with Absa Bank. Our new bank is Standard Bank,

Step 7 - Registration approval 

You must receive confirmation from Unisa that your registration has been approved. 

 

have been finalised immediately. 

 

registration has been approved. 

 

Frequently asked questions 

What must I do if I do not receive a registration confirmation from Unisa even though I have paid my 

fees and submitted my registration form? 

Send an e-mail to study-info@unisa.ac.za indicating that you have not received confirmation of your registration. 

My registration has been approved – what now? 

If you submitted your registration form and minimum registration fee by the closing date for registrations, Unisa 

will process your registration and send you a study pack by courier or post, depending on the choice you indicated 

on your registration form. This study pack will include the my Studies @ Unisa brochure. This brochure will provide 

you with important orientation and study information, and will help you to plan your studies. 

32

Step 8 – Prepare for your studies 

Now that you have submitted your registration form to Unisa, you will need to wait for Unisa to confirm your 

registration. Use this time to start preparing for your studies at Unisa 

Prepare your study area – locate a space in your home that is ideal for studying 

(quiet, enough natural light and well lit at night). 

Allocate study time in a year planner. Mark down all the family events you will be expected to attend, school 

functions for your children and time for relaxation. Include the time that you will be studying as well as additional 

time that you may need to make up to accommodate events that you will be expected to attend. This will help you 

identify weeks and months where study time may be compromised and where it needs to be worked in. 

Find a mentor. Finding a mentor can be exceptionally rewarding. Find someone who can provide advice on the life 

challenges you may be facing, act as a sounding board at moments of uncertainty and provide an objective view on 

resolving conflict that may arise with family or friends as a result of your studies. A mentor should be someone that 

you respect and admire, and who is able to understand your unique circumstances. 

Register on myUnisa. Once you have received confirmation of your registration from Unisa, you do not need 

to wait for your study material to be posted or couriered to you. You can register on myUnisa and download all 

the necessary study material for your modules, including the my Studies @ Unisa brochure, your study guides and 

Tutorial letter 101s. This will enable you to begin preparing for your year of study. 

myUnisa is a website for Unisa students. It’s a place to 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And much, much more. This is your online study network.

student number you will need to apply first. 

If you are registered at Unisa and intend to register for formal studies at another University concurrently, you need 

to apply for permission at Unisa to be allowed such concurrent registration. 

May I register for two or more formal programmes at Unisa simultaneously? 

You may not register for two formal qualifications at Unisa at the same time. 

When can I register for a module if I was registered before and did not write the exam for the module? 

You may only apply for registration for such a module/s after the official release of the exam results for that exam period, 

but before the appropriate closing date. 

Does Unisa assist students with disabilities?

Unisa rules for students 

Introduction 

The content of this section is defined by the legislation and regulations set out in the Higher Education Act, 1997 

(as amended). Where provision is made for institutional discretion, the Unisa rules are subject to approval by 

Council and/or Senate (as appropriate), except where expressly recorded to the contrary. The rules contained in 

this document represent the general rules of the University and apply to all students of Unisa. These rules must 

be read together with the applicable unisa policies, which have the same force and effect as the rules contained 

in this document. The relevant policies are available on the Unisa website as well as on the CD containing general 

registration information which is distributed to all students. The rules published here and related policies may be 

amended prior to the commencement of the following academic year. 

In addition to these general rules , there may be specific rules per college and/or qualification. They will be 

expressly stated in the information pertaining to the college and/or qualification set out elsewhere in this document 

or in the relevant tutorial letters,all of which are available to registered students in print format or online. 

Where the rules of a college make provision for special requirements with regard to registration for a module 

offered in the college, the requirements will apply equally where the module is taken in another college or for nondegree 

purposes, unless expressly stated to the contrary. 

When a student registers with Unisa, the student: 

(i) acknowledges an awareness of the prevalent rules of the university; and 

(ii) undertakes to be bound and abide by the rules of the institution. The student bears the onus of ensuring that s/ 

he is familiar with the rules pertinent to his/her registration with Unisa. 

Ignorance of these rules and related institutional policies will not be accepted as 

an excuse for any transgression. 

In the event that a reasonable disparity in the rules becomes apparent, the rule which is more favourable to the 

affected student/s will be applied. 

Office hours 

07:45 to 16:00, Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays. 

The university closes on the last working day before Christmas day and re-opens on the first working day of the 

New Year. 

1 Language of tuition 

The university provides tuition in Afrikaans and English, according to the preference of the student. However, 

as approved by Senate, specific modules are offered in English only. In qualifications comprising the learning 

of a language, tuition may be offered only in the language of the module that is being taught, after the 

approval by Senate. 

Prescribed books may not always be available in the language in which the student has chosen to receive tuition. 

2. Language(s) of research 

The Language Policy subscribes to the principles of functional multilingualism. Where mutually acceptable to the 

student and supervisor, students are allowed to write their thesis in any of the South African official languages. 

However, if the thesis or dissertation is written in a language other than English, the abstracts of the thesis or 

dissertation must be provided in English. 


37

3 Method of tuition 

Unisa is an open distance learning institution. Consequently, contact tuition is limited to group discussion classes or 

tutorials as may be scheduled for the module. Tuition is provided through print-based format (except in the case of 

modules offered solely online), multimedia and online through the myUnisa student portal. Students with disabilities 

who are registered at Unisa receive modes of tuition according to their needs insofar as the university is reasonably 

able to accommodate the student’s needs. Students having special requirements must advise the university of their 

circumstances and make arrangements for the provision thereof. 

The rules regarding assessments are set out later in this document.

These regulations are published in the my Studies @ Unisa brochure, which is issued to students

4.2 Students living outside of South Africa also qualify for membership, but services will depend on whether 

the student’s environment provides the infrastructure required for a specific service. 

4.3 Note: the library does not stock prescribed books and these must be purchased by the student, as 

required. Limited copies of prescribed books may be purchased by the library for tuition and 

research purposes.

abbreviated syllabus for modules comprising the qualification. Students may also request that the 

documents be sent directly to a South African university or to one institution in a foreign 

jurisdiction. In the latter instance, the onus is on the requesting student to ensure that the 

information is correctly provided to Unisa.

5.5.2 At least four weeks prior to the commencement of an official examination session, a letter 

indicating whether or not a student has been admitted to the examinations in each of the modules 

for which s/he is registered, will be posted to the student. The communication also indicates the

12.1 Unisa prescribes a set of minimum standards with which students must comply to ensure their continued 

registration with the university. These are set out in the Admission Policy. 

12.2 A student who does not comply with the standards prescribed in the Admission Policy will be excluded

period of study. 

12.3 The required standards include inter alia: 

12.3.1 a student must in the first calendar year of registration pass, at least, 36 credits; and 

12.3.2 a student in the second and subsequent years of study must pass, at least, 48 credits annually. 

12.4 For purposes of compliance with this rule, NDP registrations and the results of all aegrotat and 

supplementary examinations will be taken into account. 

12.5 Each year in which the student was registered at Unisa is included in the calculation of the period of 

registration – and not just the years in which the student was registered for a particular qualification.

or further qualification, only those years of registration after the completion of the degree or diploma 

will be taken into account for purposes of calculating the study period in respect of the second or 

further qualification.

and are set out in the University brochure my Registration @ Unisa. 

13.2 Payment must be made in terms of the modes set by the university. The adoption of any alternate payment 

method which is dishonoured by the financial institution, will result in the fees being deemed to have not 

been paid and will result in the affected student’s registration being automatically cancelled. 

13.3 A student who owes a financial debt to the university, or has not returned university property that has 

been loaned to him/her, shall not be provided with a Certificate of Conduct or any proof of academic 

achievement by the university. 


43

14.1 Every student is required to complete and submit the formative assessment requirements as set out in the 

tutorial letters for the registered module.

module. The year mark will contribute towards the final summative assessment mark. (The contribution of the 

year mark towards the final summative assessment mark will be set out in the Tutorial Letter/s for the module.) 

14.3 Note: The year mark will only be considered for purposes of calculating the final summative assessment mark if a 

student attains a minimum mark of 40% in the summative assessment set for the module (the sub-minimum rule).

17.1 Except where expressly stated to the contrary, a student will be granted a maximum of 2 assessment 

opportunities in a module without having to re-register for the module. Thus, where a student is granted 

a supplementary, aegrotat or special assessment opportunity, this will be the final assessment opportunity 

without the student having to re-register for the module. Students who fail or are absent (for whatever 

reason) from the second assessment opportunity will not be granted a further opportunity without

hall due to illness; or 

 

work-related travel, serious illness or death of a relative during the examination period, provided that 

satisfactory evidence of such circumstances is produced (see below). 

17.3 A student will be granted a second assessment opportunity in a module if s/he achieves a minimum 

final summative assessment mark of 40%, as well as complying with the additional (where relevant) 

specific criteria for an aegrotat, special or supplementary assessment for the module. Students will only 

be registered for the second assessment opportunity upon payment of the prescribed fee. 

17.4 Where an examination is deferred and a special or aegrotat examination (second examination 

opportunity) is granted, without the examination having been written at the first examination 

opportunity, such deferred examination will be regarded as the second and final examination 

opportunity for that academic year. No further supplementary, aegrotat or special examinations will be 

granted and students who fail or are absent from such an examination (for whatever reason) will have 

to reregister for the relevant module/paper during the next academic period. 

Please note: A student must have obtained examination admission and have paid the full registration fee 

in respect of the relevant module. The prescribed examination fee must accompany the application for 

the aegrotat or special examination. Examination fees are not refundable or transferable. 

17.5 No alternative dates or times can be arranged in cases where examination dates and/or times clash. 

Note: A student will not be granted admission to a or special assessment on the basis of clashes in 

examination dates; save where the clash may arise as a result of a change to the provisional timetable 

made by the University after the registration period. 

17.6 Applications for special examinations must be accompanied by original documentary evidence giving 

full details as to why the student was prevented from writing the examination. Applications must be 

submitted WITHIN 10 DAYS of the original examination date. Please ensure that your student number 

appears on all documentation. Medical certificates received without an accompanying written 

application will be deemed to be an incomplete application and will, therefore, not be processed or 

considered. Applications can be submitted via fax (012 429 4150), e-mail (aegrotats@unisa.ac.za) (your 

student number must appear in the subject heading) or may be posted to the university (PO Box 392,

English Studies 

Students who passed only one 

or two of the papers for English 

II prior to 2000 retain credit for 

the paper(s) concerned and can 

complete the course by passing 

three or two of the six modules 

listed under 5 below – see table 

below for modules which may not 

be taken. For example, a student 

who has passed only ENG211 will 

need to complete three modules 

in order to meet the requirements 

for second-level English. Students 

who passed English II papers prior 

to 1995 or English III papers prior 

to 1996, but who did not complete 

the course, will be dealt with on 

an ad hoc basis. Such students 

must consult the Chairperson of 

the Department, English, prior to 

registration. Students who passed 

only one, two, or three of the papers 

for English III prior to 2001 retain 

credit for the paper(s) concerned 

and can complete the course by 

passing four, three, or two of the six 

modules listed under 5 below – see 

table below for modules which may 

not be taken. For example, a student 

who has passed ENG312, ENG313 

and ENG315 will need to register 

for two modules to meet the 

requirements of third-level English. 

If students have passed ENN321N 

they MAY NOT register for the 

new ENN314Q module as the 

content of the new module overlaps 

significantly with that of the old 

ENN312N module. Instead, in order 

to complete their studies at thirdyear 

level in English, they will have 

to pass ENN311M, ENN303M and 

ENN315R. Students who passed a 

paper(s) under a previous currculum 

retain credit for the paper(s) passed 

and choose the outstanding paper(s) 

from those listed above.

Practical 

Theology 

In the old curriculum, Practical 

Theology modules were spread 

across two tracks, namely 

Congregational Ministry (CGM) 

and Community Ministry (CMM). 

In the new BTh curriculum, they 

are all in the same Track, namely 

Congregational Ministry (CGM) 

while one module is no longer 

offered. Please study the diagram 

provided below, together with 

the relevant chapter in this 

brochure, entitled Congregational 

Ministry (CGM). Students will 

retain credits for all Practical 

Theology modules passed in 

the old curriculum. One (1) 

Practical Theology module that 

was previously part of the CMM 

Track has now been moved 

to the CGM Track: the former 

CMM305X (now CGM3704). 

If you completed CMM305X 

under the old curriculum, you 

may retain credit for it in the 

CMM Track or you may transfer 

it to the CGM Track (CGM3704). 

CMM3095 (Faith development 

in context) is no longer offered 

but you will retain credits for this 

module in the CMM Track or 

CGM Track.
