Communication to students regarding the January/February/March 2022 Online Examinations

The January/February/March 2022 online examination period is upon us and we would like to draw you attention to the following as you prepare for your online examination sitting:

1. It is important you ascertain when your module is written by accessing your examination timetable https://myadmin.unisa.ac.za/tool/1f95735b-9137-4e57-803f-43820fb508b7/default.do

    

2. All your examinations question papers will be available on the myExam platform  myExams : Gateway : Exam Timetable (unisa.ac.za). Click on your module code on the day of your examination to access your examination question paper or multiple choice questions.

    

3. It’s equally important to determine whether your module is invigilated through the Invigilator App by clicking The Invigilator App (invigilatorapp.herokuapp.com).

Supplementing students who had their modules invigilated or proctored during their October/November 2021 examinations will have the same modules being invigilated or proctored in their January/February 2022 examinations.  Please adequately prepare yourself by watching training videos and reading through navigation guidelines.  Visit the invigilation section on the Essential tips for online examinations webpage.
