2026 Semester 2 applications and registration: Important notice

Unisa is implementing a controlled Semester 2 enrolment process for 2026.

This process will be managed in phases and will apply only to eligible students and applicants. Not all students or applicants will be eligible for every phase.

Eligible students and applicants will be contacted directly by Unisa through official e-mail and/or SMS where action is required.

The process includes:

  • Registration for identified new students who are temporarily registered from 20 May 2026 to 15 June 2026.
  • Limited batched offers to selected eligible Higher Certificate applicants who were not previously placed due to limited space.
  • Applications for selected undersubscribed qualifications only from 3 June 2026 to 17 June 2026.
  • Semester 2 registration for eligible students from 29 June 2026 to 23 July 2026.

Please note that this is not a general reopening of all applications or qualifications.

Students and applicants must check their official e-mail and SMS messages regularly. Spaces remain limited and are subject to eligibility, qualification capacity, admission requirements, registration rules, payment requirements and institutional processes.

A space is secured only once registration has been fully completed and confirmed by Unisa.

Unisa reserves the right to withdraw offers, close qualifications, decline registration or reallocate available spaces where requirements are not met, deadlines are missed or capacity has been reached.
