Don’t forget you must be seated in the exam venue 15 minutes before the exam startsI urge all Unisa students who are writing exams at the moment to take the issue of arriving early at the exam venues very seriously. We all know that there are unpredictable traffic problems countrywide; this is beyond our control. We all know that there may be limited parking spaces at the venues; this is also beyond our control. Despite these issues, it remains the responsibility of each Unisa student to leave home early enough to avoid these issues. If it means leaving your homes before dawn, so be it. This is your future, it is a once in a lifetime sacrifice. Please try, by all means possible, to arrive at the exam venue hours before the time. It is not in Unisa’s interest for any one of you to miss an examination opportunity. Please put everything aside and focus on this life-changing and career-enhancing opportunity. I am proud of all of you and I know that you can make it.

Full details of these changes will be available on myUnisa from 14 March 2012. Students in the Durban area may still go to myUnisa to make changes to examination venues between 14 March 2012 and 30 March 2012.
