 Before you register: qualification, modules & fees
 There are various steps that need to be completed before you begin your Unisa registration process. They include confirming your qualification, calculating your fees and confirming essential degree-specific details. We advise you to work carefully through the information on this page to ensure that you've completed all necessary checks before you begin your registration.
Please note that to be re-admitted as a student in 2014, a student who registered for the first time in 2013 must have registered for and passed at least 36 credits (or 3 modules).
If you are registering for the first time in 2013 or if you are a returning student choosing a new qualification, ensure that you meet all the minimum and qualification-specific admission requirements. Read more...

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL)
Specific modules in certain qualifications offered at Unisa include workplace-based learning that 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 if your chosen qualification has work-integrated learning modules and, if so, make sure that you will be able to complete this component. Students who do not have placement at an employer can contact the relevant academic department for assistance in finding a suitable experiential learning provider.
All professional teaching qualifications have teaching practice as a compulsory component of the curriculum. If you live in a SADC country, you will need to make your own arrangements to do your teaching practice in your own country. Students who live in other countries will have to make arrangements to do the teaching practice in South Africa (during February and October) before the qualification can be completed. No registration for any professional teaching qualification will be accepted for students living in a foreign country unless the DSAR25 form is included with your registration form. Read more...
