Dear Students
The University of South Africa (UNISA) is committed to institute a sustainable digital access model that will ensure access and success in future. In the meantime, the university has concluded the governance processes to approve the renewal of the Mobile Networks Operators' (Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, Cell C) contracts. The contracts will be renewed for a period not exceeding 12 months, from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026.
During this period, the university will provide data during examination periods, to students only. This means, all students that qualify for examinations during the examination periods of October/November 2025, January/February 2026 and May/June 2026 will receive data. Moreover, the university will provide zero-rated sites to all registered students, through reverse billing monthly, from October 2025 to September 2026. This means, Unisa students will have access to Unisa zero-rated sites even if they do not have data.
A list of Unisa zero-rated sites will be communicated in due course.
Thank you.
