The University of South Africa, what is commonly known as Unisa, has not yet closed their registration period for postgraduate courses. If you haven’t registered yet, you still have some time and should register as soon as possible.
Unisa’s registration period for undergraduate qualifications has now closed for semester and year modules. However, those wanting to study postgrad courses can still register.
The registration period is however only open for registering year modules. This applies for honours degrees, postgraduate diplomas, masters and doctoral qualifications with the closing date being 31 March 2023.
The following steps demonstrate how to register online:
- Go to the Unisa registration website: https://registration.unisa.ac.za/info/
- Choose the qualification level and then click “Go“.
- Enter your student number in the block provided and the other details as required. (If you do not have a student number you won’t be able to continue. You’ll need to apply online for admission. During this process, a student number will be generated and communicated to you.)
- Check your personal details on screen.
- Change any contact details that are incorrect or missing. (Incorrect information may delay the delivery of your study material and prevent you from receiving important information from the university. Therefore it is important to provide your correct address and cellphone numbers.)
