May I register for two or more formal qualifications
at Unisa simultaneously?
You may not register for two formal qualifications at Unisa concurrently.
Does Unisa assist students with disabilities?
Unisa’s Advocacy and Resource Centre for Students with Disabilities (ARCSWiD) will assist and
support students with disabilities. If you require assistance, please indicate the nature of your
disability on your registration form and contact ARCSWiD as soon as possible. This will enable
ARCSWiD to plan the measures necessary to support your needs.
Should you need further further information about ARCSWID, please contact:

What should I do to...?
You may make any of the changes below by logging on to Unisa’s student portal, myUnisa (http://
my.unisa.ac.za), and following the registration prompts. If you would prefer the university to
assist you, please submit your request in writing (using the prescribed forms) either by post (The
Registrar, PO Box 392, Unisa, 0003) or by fax (012 429 4150).
Add study units
You must apply in writing using the prescribed form or online to add study units. You must also pay
the necessary fee to the university by the relevant closing date for registration.
Cancel study units
You may cancel a master’s paper or module (excluding the research proposal module). You will,
however, forfeit the applicable portion of the fees paid (this is related to the date of cancellation).
Research master’s and doctoral may not cancel their studies after acceptance thereof.
Change my address and/or telephone number
You must submit all requests to change telephone numbers and/or postal, physical or courier
addresses in writing using the prescribed form or online.
Change my exam centre
Requests to change examination centres must be done at least one month prior to the
commencement of the respective examination period.
Apply for study unit credit exemptions
You cannot be exempted from more than 50% of the modules for the qualification for which
you are registered. You must also have met the requisite admission requirement at the time of
having passed the study units at your previous institution. No exemptions will be granted towards
completed qualifications.
What is recognition of prior learning (RPL)?
Unisa’s RPL programme allows you to gain recognition and credit for skills and learning acquired
through means other than through formal learning programmes. Your skill and knowledge will
be evaluated; 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.
