You’re at the centre. 

You can make it happen. 

At Unisa, you study in your own space, not on campus. You learn 

from a distance… and connect via the internet, which means 

that there will be no face-to-face lectures or daily contact with 

students. You control when, where and how you study. In other 

words, your qualification is all about you. 

Am I a typical 

distance learning student? 

• Self-driven • Self-motivated • Hard working • Diligent 

• Commited to taking responsibility for my own studies 

Am I ready? Do I have... 

• A place to study • Time to study • Adequate 

funding for my studies • Good reading

Apply to start your Unisa journey 

Choose & apply 

First, decide whether Unisa is right for you and whether you are right for Unisa. 

You need to be very sure before applying for admission. 

Choose a career path, decide on a qualification, then apply for admission during the prescribed 

application periods. You can only apply online or by visiting a Unisa regional office to submit 

your application online. If your application for admission to study through Unisa is incomplete, 

you will have to re-apply during the next application period, as no incomplete applications will 

be considered. 

We’ve developed questions to help you (you’ll find them later on in this brochure). Even if you’ve 

chosen your career path, we suggest you answer them. They will help to confirm your decision. 

Register 

Unisa will inform you once your application has been 

approved. Visit the Unisa website for the registration information 

and registration dates (semester 1: December - January; year 

modules: December - February; semester 2: mid June - mid July). 

For registration information, refer to the my Registration @ Unisa 

brochure or visit the website at www.unisa.ac.za/registration. 

To register online during the relevant registration period, visit the 

website at www.unisa.ac.za/registration. 

Teach & learn 

After you’ve registered successfully, you’ll receive your study material and 

the my Studies @ Unisa brochure. This tells you how to access your study material 

online. The internet plays a vital role in the learning process at Unisa, as does discipline, 

commitment and hard work. A Unisa qualification behind your name opens many 

doors, but like everything of value, open distance learning is not an easy path. 

Graduate & lifelong learning 

Once you graduate, you join the group of Unisa alumni. We encourage our 

alumni to remain in contact with Unisa for networking and academic opportunities, as 

well as the mentoring of new students.

Choose Unisa 

Is the Unisa journey for me? 

Remember, ODeL takes diligence, drive and determination, initiative and commitment. The following selfevaluation 

questions indicate the changes you may need to make to accommodate your studies. 

Part 1 is an abilities profile, addressing your personal abilities and characteristics. 

Part 2 addresses your personal circumstances (eg family, friends, work) and practical considerations 

(eg computer access, proximity to an exam centre and funding). 

These questions are designed to help you to assess what you need to succeed. There are no right or wrong 

answers – simply answer "yes" or "no" for each statement. 

Part 1 

Abilities statement Yes No 

1 I obtained a minimum of 50% for matric English or Afrikaans, and enjoy reading and writing. 

2 I am goal directed, because when I set my sights on end results, I usually achieve them. 

3 I am self-motivated, because my goals are clear. 

4 I am a self-starter, because I know what I need to do to reach my goals. 

5 I like to get things done today rather than putting them off until tomorrow. 

6 I am self-disciplined, because I start and finish tasks on time. 

7 I can work independently, because I prefer to sort out difficulties on my own. 

8 I do not give up easily, because I make a plan to cope with difficulties. 

9 I am capable of independent study, because I can study on my own. 

10 I think I am ready for university-level work, because I am willing to master new and difficult ideas. 

11 I am an organised person, because I plan my life and do things step by step. 

12 I use my time effectively, as I put aside sufficient time to study. 

13 What I learn and do not learn is my responsibility. 

14 I consider myself to be responsible because I find study help when I need it. 

15 I am confident of my ability to read academic texts. 

16 I am confident of my ability to write examinations. 

17 I consider myself to be a capable reader. 

18 I know how to make notes from study guides, textbooks and tutors (if I attend tutorial classes). 

8

19 I read a lot (fiction and non-fiction). 

20 I consider myself to be a university-level reader, as I am willing to read difficult books. 

21 I know how to use a library to search for specific information. 

22 I know how to use the internet to search for specific information. 

23 I am able to analyse multiple-choice questions. 

24 I am willing to learn how to analyse multiple-choice questions.

30 I know how to prepare for examinations. 

31 I know how to manage my stress levels during exam times. 

32 I am willing to participate in programmes that prepare me for university studies. 

33 I have made arrangements so that my studies are my priority until I graduate. 

34 I am aware that I may need to purchase prescribed books that may be expensive. 

35 I have regular access to a computer and the internet, and am confident about my computer skills. 

36 I read books, newspapers and magazines, and am comfortable with gathering information. 

Count your "yes" answers: 

31-36 "yes" answers: Open distance e-learning will suit you. If you experience problems later on in the 

journey, there are support services at Unisa to assist you. 

18-30 "yes" answers: Get to know the support services that Unisa offers when you register, and make use 

of tutors, myUnisa and counsellors. 

6-17 "yes" answers: You may find it difficult to succeed. Study your answers and assess how to improve 

your score. If improvement is relatively easy, register for the minimum number of modules and make use of as 

many of Unisa’s support services as possible. 

0-5 "yes" answers: You are not suited to open distance e-learning at this stage. Use your scores to identify 

the changes you need to make to improve your abilities. Continue to re-assess your readiness. 

The "no" statements represent barriers to your academic success.

Part 2 

My personal circumstances 

Tick 

1 I am a special needs student and require special assistance. 

2 I live in a rural or urban area with no postal service. 

3 There is not an exam centre close by (go to pages 136-142 to answer this question). 

4 I do not have access to a computer or the internet. 

5 I am a single parent with small children to look after. 

6 I work full time. 

7 I work during the day and at night/weekends. 

8 I do not have access to a cellphone. 

9 I am battling financially and do not know how I will fund my studies and buy books. 

10 I have enough time to study (at least 8 hours per week per module) 

The statements you ticked represent barriers to your chances of academic success. 

Can you overcome these barriers? 

Which areas can I change? Which areas do I need help with? 

Who can I talk to about helping me with these areas and how do I think they can help? 

What is my plan to meet these challenges? 

Why do I want to make these changes? By when do I want to have made these changes? 

10

It’s a question of resources 

Your internal and external resources can prepare you for change, resources such as your drive to succeed, 

time to study, finances, computer access, the internet and information – knowing the Unisa system and 

processes, your family and your employer (if you are employed). 

List the resources you rely on for your studies. You may, for example, need to borrow funds from a family 

member or employer to pay for your studies. Or you may need to use a friend’s computer. 

Your circumstances will change while you’re studying. What will happen when things change (eg when a family 

member can’t pay for your studies any longer or your friend no longer owns a computer)? What are the small, 

practical things you could do when… 

you can no longer afford to study? 

you no longer have access to a computer and/or the internet? 

you have less time for your studies? 

Anything is possible - 

if you make it possible!

Destiny awaits the brave

Choose your career 

We want you to make career decisions that contribute to your 

graduateness. 

Your graduateness is linked to 

• your ability to find and maintain employment continuously 

(referred to as employability). 

• your ability to learn skills required for specific fields. 

• personal attributes (especially positive beliefs about yourself 

and what you can contribute). 

• your ability to reflect on what you are doing and how you are 

doing it. 

As you progress with your qualification you will acquire knowledge, 

skills, competencies and values that will change your life. Take time to 

reflect on how this impacts on your work, your relationships and your 

community. Employers seek transferable work-related skills that make 

you adaptable in the fast-changing workplace. The Institute for the 

Future has identified a number of disruptors (drivers for change) 

that affect an individual’s work, such as needing to work past 65 

to ensure resources, the rise of smart technology, the internet 

and organisations functioning outside traditional organisational 

boundaries, enabled by social technologies. 

Uncertainty is everywhere. Chance events can have a huge influence 

on your career. Opportunities and challenges are everywhere. 

Changes do and will happen. Are you prepared? 

my future 

Your career vision is your picture of what you want from life or 

where you see yourself in the future. If you’re thinking about 

studying at Unisa from 2014, how do things change in your 

imagination? What will be different? 

As you are thinking about studying, you have hopes that represent 

a picture of what you want from life or where you see yourself in 

the future. 

Think about your situation at the moment (eg you are a school 

leaver, unemployed, employed, a graduate or retrenched). Write 

down what it is like for you at the moment and what you would 

like to change about your current situation. 


13

I want to be a … because … 

I want to contribute … (write down how you would want to help others) 

I want to achieve … (write down what you want for yourself) 

This diagram represents the ingredients necessary to make a decision about your career.

Thinking about these aspects 

will assist you with the 

decision you are making now, 

but also for future decisions.

Further resources: 

The Windmills Interactive programme can help you understand where you are now, where you want to 

be and how you plan to get there. The activities in this programme can be completed (free of charge) on 

the following website: http://www.windmillsonline.co.uk/interactive. 

14

my planning 

Despite uncertainty, we need to act. Otherwise the future will be more uncertain. Making decisions prepares us for 

the future. If in 2014, for example, you’re planning to complete a qualification by 2019, how do you know where 

you’ll be at that time? The future holds no guarantees. Planning prepares you to some degree. 

How do you plan for uncertainty? 

Think about how to make your hopes for the future real. What practical things must you do to realise it? Do 

you need to find out more about your chosen qualification? Do you need to do a BA degree first to become 

a psychologist, for example? Do you need to talk to people in your chosen field? Think about it and make 

some notes. 

What else could you be? Have you thought about other career options where you could utilise your unique 

strengths? 

How else could you use the qualification you’re interested in? 

What will happen if you can’t achieve your plan due to unforeseen circumstances? What if you can’t become 

what you want to? 

Who else can you talk to so that you can identify the changes you need to make? 

What information do you still need to help you plan what you need to do? Who can you talk to? 


15

my skills 

Skills are abilities you’ve developed and can use effectively. You learn skills from your experiences. These include 

voluntary, paid or unpaid work, and family and community responsibilities. Basic skills are important when 

working within a fast-changing society: 

• communication skills (reading, writing, creating online content, communicating visually & evaluating information) 

• social intelligence (connecting meaningfully with others and wanting to make a difference) 

• teamwork (negotiating, motivating and engaging with diverse groups online and offline) 

• problem solving and novel thinking (creating unique solutions to problems) 

• information management (filtering and making sense of information) 

You will learn new skills in each module of your qualification. These can help you become employed and improve 

your community contribution. You need to connect what you learn at university with what you can contribute in 

the workplace and in your community. As you study and your skills develop, your frame of reference will expand 

and you will become aware of more opportunities to apply the new skills you have developed. 

Think about your life experiences (work, volunteering, school, studies and personal) and then answer the 

following questions: 

What skills do I have? 

What skills do I need to develop related to the kind of opportunities I am hoping for? 

How will I develop these skills? 

my values 

Your values show what is important to you. As such they have a significant effect on your career choices. 

Values are shaped by your family, community, work environment and life experiences. Here are examples of 

how values can influence career decisions: 

• Matome is unhappy with his current administrative job and wants more challenges. He sees a job advert 

at his company for a sales representative training programme and is interested. If he takes the position, it 

will mean a lot of travelling. Is he willing to be away from his family for long periods? Is the excitement of 

travelling for a sales job more important? 

• Shamila is good at organising events such as weddings and birthday parties for her family and friends. 

Does she take the risk and resign from her secure job to make event planning a full-time business? 

16

Below are some common values (you can add your own if you prefer). Read through the list and tick the five 

that are most important to you: 

Adventure Curiosity Individuality 

Authority Duty Influence 

Autonomy Effectiveness Knowledge 

Beauty Excellence Money 

Belonging Excitement Power 

Challenge Friendship Public contact 

Commitment Health Quiet 

Community Helping Recognition 

Competition Honesty Religion 

Co-operation Humour Spirituality 

Creativity Independence Status 

Write them down in order of importance: 

Can you link your values to specific occupations? 

How would your values be supported by the career choice you are making? How would your career choice 

support your values? 


17

Further resources: 

O*Net online has a function where you can search for occupations linked to specific values. Click on 

“Advanced search” on http://www.onetonline.org and then select “Work values” from the drop-down list. 

Click on the value that matches your top values as identified on the previous page. You will get a list of 

occupations related to the values important to you. 

Complete the following sentences to understand how your values influence your studies: 

My life is meaningful when… 

My career is meaningful when… 

My study time at Unisa is meaningful when… 

My three years with Unisa have been rewarding, 

and an investment in a better future.

did not plan for and could not control, but that impacted on your career direction, such as how you heard 

about Unisa or got your first job. Make some notes about a chance event that influenced your career decision.

Career field Description Pg 

Agriculture and 

Animal Health 

Environmental 

Management 

Agricultural studies focus on how to produce, manage and market agricultural products, breed farm animals and 

cultivate plants. Knowledge of natural resource management and the environmental and community issues that 

affect agricultural production includes soil, forests, wildlife and the processing of food. 

Animal Health is a para-veterinary field and focuses on animal diseases and their control as well as public health 

issues. Graduates bridge the gap between rural communities, farmers and veterinarians. Animal Sciences 

and Plant Sciences are the cradle on which agricultural research, development and production are founded, 

whereas Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Management Sciences provide the pertinent control tools. 

Careers in this field focus on agriculture and animal health. 

Possible job titles: plant scientist, animal scientist, development officer; extension officer; farm manager; 

agricultural economist; food safety consultant; animal health technician; pharmaceutical representative; meat 

inspector; stock farm manager; laboratory technician. 

A number of career opportunities have arisen as a result of sustainability concerns: managing our natural 

resources for future generations. The environment offers many exciting, interesting and satisfying career choices 

across a wide range of fields and disciplines. A career in the environmental field is rewarding because you can 

contribute to the maintenance and conservation of essential life systems necessary for our survival. There are 

two main routes you can follow: the social environmental perspective or the environmental science perspective. 

These two perspectives complement one another and effective environmental management combines both. 

Possible job titles: environmental assessment practitioner; environmental manager and environmental 

researcher; cartographer; geographical information systems (GIS) specialist; conservation manager; 

conservationist; environmental campaign co-ordinator; environmental planner; environmental educator.

Ornamental horticulture consists of floriculture and landscape horticulture. The turf industry is also considered 

a part of ornamental horticulture. Ornamental horticulture focuses on how to breed and grow plants while 

landscape horticulture focuses on using plants in artistic and pleasing ways. They also learn the basic principles 

of plant science. If you love the idea of being an artist and using flowers, trees, shrubs and natural objects on 

your palette, then this programme of study may be right for you. 

Possible job titles: garden centre assistant or manager; horticultural consultant or technician; horticulturist; 

plant propagator; retail nursery assistant; owner or manager. 

Nature conservationists contribute to the conservation and management of protected and natural areas. 

The focus of the programme is on all components of the ecosystem and their response to changes in the 

urban and natural environment. They have an understanding of ecology, ecosystems and management to 

ensure biodiversity and sustainability. 

Possible job titles: conservation manager or researcher or technician; wildlife manager; veld manager; 

nature conservationist; natural resource conservationist; social ecologist. 

Consumer Sciences focuses on the study of consumer behaviour and the applied sciences in the 

disciplines of food, nutrition, hospitality management, consumer journalism, and clothing and textiles. The 

qualifications offer the student entrepreneurial and/or employment opportunities in organisations in the 

public or private sectors. 

Possible job titles: consumer educator; clothing buyer and merchandiser; consumer journalist; 

consumer advisor, entrepreneur; events planner; hospitality manager; educators (with further educational 

qualifications); researcher; research assistant.

Possible job titles: biochemist; biotechnologist; botanist; ecologist; forensic analyst; geneticist; laboratory 

technician; microbiologist; pharmaceutical sales representative; physiologist; quality analyst; researcher; 

research assistant; zoologist. 

Geography deals with the world around us. Studying geography will help you understand why places are 

the way they are and what role humans, places, phenomena and processes play in continually shaping 

the world we live in. Of particular importance is our focus on the interaction between people and their 

environment in order to make sense of our world. Geography may be taken as a major in the general BSc 

or BA programmes as well as the environmental management programme. 

Possible job titles: geographer within a variety of social and/or natural sciences vocational fields.

Check that you meet 

the admission requirements 

Admission 

Your admission to Unisa is dependent on you meeting the specific admission requirements for your 

chosen qualification. 

If you don’t meet these requirements, you may want to consider alternative qualifications or possibly, if you qualify, 

an extended programme (see pages 30 to 35), enabling you to register for limited modules in your first year. 

Re-admission 

As an undergraduate student, you must register for, and pass, at least 36 credits (or 3 modules) per year/over 

two consecutive semesters. If you don’t, you will not be re-admitted to Unisa in 2015. For more information 

on credits and modules, go to page 49 of this brochure. 

From your second year of study, you need to pass a minimum of 48 credits (4 modules) per year/over two 

consecutive semesters. If you don’t, you won’t be allowed to study further at undergraduate level, unless you 

complete a one-year certificate programme (NQF level 5) from an accredited university after the year of exclusion. 

Re-admission for alternative pathway students 

You must register for, and pass, at least 24 credits (or 2 modules) per year/over two consecutive semesters. If 

you don’t, you will not be re-admitted to Unisa in 2015. For more information on credits and modules, go to 

page 49 of this brochure. 

How long do I have to finish my qualification? 

You have a maximum of 3 years to complete a 120-credit Higher Certificate or Advanced Certificate, 8 years to 

complete a 360-credit degree (3-year degree) and 10 years to complete a 480-credit degree (4-year degree). 

Remember, if you find Unisa is not for you, or that university 

education is not an option, think about learning a trade or 

studying through a Further Education and Training (FET) 

college. Many successful careers have been built on skills 

learnt from these colleges and training centres.

Applying for credits from other higher education institutions 

Unisa may recognise previous learning from previous formal education. This will be evaluated on a case-bycase 

basis. Not all credits achieved at other institutions will count towards a Unisa qualification. Your request 

for exemption(s) will only be considered once we have received your completed DSAR04 form and a certified 

copy of an official academic record, a conduct certificate and, in some cases, the syllabus. In the case of 

international qualifications, SAQA evaluation and the syllabus are required. This form can be found on the 

Unisa website (http://www.unisa.ac.za). 

NB: No exemptions will be finalised on an academic record during the application period. 

You must meet the admission requirements for the qualification for which you are applying for credits 

and/or exemptions. A maximum of 50% of the prescribed NQF credits may be awarded in the form of 

credits and exemptions. No exemptions will be granted for Unisa's signature modules. 

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) 

When applying to Unisa, remember that Unisa will consider your previous learning. This includes both formal 

education at a tertiary institution (eg formal certificate, diploma and degree qualifications) and informal 

learning (eg knowledge or skills acquired during practical work experience, including community work in a 

relevant field). For further information, send an e-mail to rpl@unisa.ac.za 

Please note: The RPL process is a very time-consuming and lengthy process, and it may take up to six months 

for any request to be assessed and finalised. 

Remember, there may be additional admission 

requirements based on the qualification you choose. 

Meeting these criteria does not mean automatic 

acceptance. Many qualifications have a limited 

number of places for the year. Each application will 

be considered individually.

International students 

We pride ourselves on our service to the global market. Students can live on any continent, in any country.

learning institution after all. 

As an international student, there are a few practical things you need to know: 

Where do I write my examinations? 

Refer to the examination centre codes on page 136 to 142 of this brochure. 

Where and how do I pay my application fees? 

Refer to the “Apply for admission” section on page 42 of this brochure. 

Does Unisa assist with applications for study permits and visas? 

Unfortunately not. All international students must make their own arrangement for study permits and visas. 

International students should visit www.unisa.ac.za/internationalstudents for more information. 


45

I've applied. What now? 

If your application is successful, register online or visit a Unisa regional office to submit your registration online during 

the relevant registration period. If you don’t register in time, you will not be able to study through Unisa in 2014. 

What can you do while you are waiting to hear about your application? 

• Discuss your intention to study with your family, friends and employer. They can support you in 

your studies. 

• Prepare your study area. Allocate space at home, in a public library, at a community centre, church, 

your place of work or elsewhere. 

• Plan your time. Write down how you are currently spending your time, indicating when you need time 

to study. Are there activities that you will have to move/sacrifice? 

• Find a mentor who can provide you with advice and support for your studies, as well as for personal 

and professional growth. 

• Work on your computer skills. It’s important to understand a word processing program (such as Microsoft 

Word or Openoffice Writer), how to receive and send e-mails, and how to search the internet. The 

Goodwill Community Foundation has over 750 free online computer classes available on their website 

at http://www.gclearnfree.org. In addition to the online lessons, there are mobile apps that you could 

download to your Android phone, iPhone or iPad to help you learn on the go. The online classes available 

cover aspects of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc), as well as internet and e-mail basics.

“job titles economics major”) and start reading about opportunities for economics students and graduates. 

• Use job search websites such as PNet (www.pnet.co.za), CareerJunction (www.careerjunction.co.za) and 

Careers24 (www.careers24.com) to do research about possible job titles, salaries and employers related to

Staying on the right track

Our qualifications 

Standards are high at Unisa. They have to be because, for one thing, our qualifications are recognised globally. Having 

a Unisa qualification behind your name takes hard work, it means that you are dedicated, diligent and independent – 

qualities that are valued by employers the world over. The following section breaks down our qualifications into their 

constituent parts. It will give you a better idea of what you need to achieve to become a Unisa graduate. 

Qualifications: credits, modules and levels 

Credits are the number of notional study hours required for achieving the learning outcomes. Notional hours 

include study time, assignments and examinations. The credit rating system rates 10 notional hours as equivalent 

to one credit. For example: a Higher Certificate has 120 credits consisting of a 10 x 12 credit module. A module 

consisting of 12 credits equates to 120 notional hours. It therefore requires at least 8 hours of study per week in a 

15-week semester. 

Qualifications require a certain number of credits, broken down into smaller units. At Unisa, undergraduate 

modules are usually 12 credits. Each module is pegged according to a specific NQF level. A bachelor’s degree of 

360 credits, for example, consists of 30 modules of 12 credits each. 

A bachelor’s degree may consist of between 8 and 10 modules of 12 credits each at NQF level 5; 10 to 12 

modules of 12 credits each at NQF level 6; 10 modules of 12 credits each at NQF level 7. 

These levels follow on from each other. When choosing a module, you must first have passed the module at 

the previous level. Before you can be awarded a qualification, you must have completed the required number of 

credits; and the modules must be completed at the required NQF level. 

Plan your curriculum using the information on the Unisa website and the my Registration @ Unisa brochure. 

Curriculum changes and/or the replacement of modules 

New knowledge and insight, as well as regulatory requirements from the Department of Higher Education and 

Training, and the Council for Higher Education, require that curricula may from time to time be changed, or that 

certain modules in qualifications be replaced with new modules. 

Unisa thus reserves the right to change curricula or to replace modules in qualifications, and to require students 

registered for those qualification(s) to convert to new curricula or new modules. The implementation of these 

changes will be done in such a way that students will not be prejudiced, will not lose any credits already obtained 

or be required to complete more modules than originally required for the qualification. 

NQF levels 

New and changed qualifications conform to the requirements of the HEQF and have higher or new HEQF levels. 

Old qualifications are not HEQF aligned and have lower NQF levels. Qualifications indicating the old NQF levels 

will continue to receive the same recognition as those who will be awarded their qualifications in terms of the new 

NQF levels.

Student funding 

Success is not only being 

able to reflect on the difficult, 

but the fun stuff as well. 

102

Funding your studies 

Unisa’s study fees are generally lower than other higher education institutions, but studying is a significant investment 

either way. The cost depends on the qualification, obviously, as well as the number of modules you choose. 

The average student takes between 4 and 6 modules per year at a cost of between R1 000 and R2 000 per 

module. The module costs do not include your prescribed books. Books are an additional cost that you must 

factor into your fee calculations. 

Average Unisa student fees 

Please note: these fees reflect 2013 prices and are subject to change without prior notice. The maximum 

amount indicated below is based on 120 credits for the year.

In support of national focus areas, student fees are determined in line with funding from the Department of 

Higher Education and Training. The tuition fees are lower for quailifcations that receive higher subsidies, and 

higher lfor those qualifications that receive lower subsidies. 

Bursaries and loans for Unisa students 

Unisa’s Student Funding Division administers donor funding in the form of bursaries and loans to Unisa 

students. The criteria for awarding these bursaries and loans are determined by the donors of the funding. In 

addition, Unisa also assists deserving students in the form of financial assistance, specifically honours students. 

All application forms are available at 

http://www.unisa.ac.za/studentfunding 


103

NSFAS loans 

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) operates according to the National Student Financial Aid 

Act 56 of 1999. If a NSFAS borrower successfully passes all their courses in a particular academic year, their 

loan amount for that year is reduced by 40%; they only pay interest on 60% of the loan amount. Both the 

40% capital amount and all interest on that 40% is written off, because it is treated as a grant or bursary. 

Who qualifies for a NSFAS loan? 

A student qualifies for a NSFAS loan or bursary if he or she is 

• a South African citizen. 

• registered at a public South African higher education institution. 

• an undergraduate student studying towards a first higher education qualification. 

• a student studying towards a postgraduate qualification because it’s a requirement to practise in his or 

her chosen profession (such as the Postgraduate Certificate in Education). 

• able to demonstrate potential for academic success and the fact that he or she is financially needy. 

Students who receive loans, bursaries or scholarships from other sources that cover the full cost of study are 

not eligible for a NSFAS loan. If you wish to enrol for postgraduate studies such as an Honours in Theology or 

an Advanced Diploma in Management, you are not eligible for NSFAS funding. 

Interest on loans 

• The annual maximum and minimum loan amounts made by institutions are determined by the NSFAS 

Board. The NSFAS maximum loan amount is generally equal to the national average full cost of study, as 

determined by NSFAS. 

• The percentage (a maximum of 40%) of the amount lent to a student may be converted to a bursary if 

the student is academically successful. The date of the conversion will be determined by NSFAS. 

• The following parameters apply in respect of every year, unless they are changed by NSFAS. 

- Interest on loans will begin to accrue one year after the date of completion 

of a funded qualification. 

- The NSFAS interest rate is lower than that of the Reserve Bank when it lends to other 

banks. It is also less than the interest the borrower would pay to any other lender. 

How to apply for a NSFAS loan 

• Apply for admission to Unisa and get a Unisa student number. 

• Complete a NSFAS application form (available at www.unisa.ac.za/studentfunding or from any Unisa 

office) and attach all the documents stipulated on the application form. 

• Submit your application and required documents via the drop-off boxes at all Unisa centres. Late, 

incomplete or faxed applications without supporting documents will not be considered. 

• Register provisionally. (First time Unisa students can register for a maximum of 3 modules.) 

104

• You will receive an SMS telling you whether your application was successful. Successful 

applicants will need to sign a loan agreement form at the nearest Unisa office. 

• Unsuccessful applicants should enquire at the nearest Unisa office.

Honours degrees, postgraduate certificates 

& postgraduate diplomas

Honours degrees, 

postgraduate 

certificates & 

postgraduate 

diplomas 

All students who want to register for a new 

postgraduate qualification (including honours degrees) 

in 2014 must apply for admission. This also applies to 

students who want to change to a new postgraduate 

qualification in 2014 (eg students currently in the final 

year of their qualification). 

To be able to register for the 2014 academic year, 

students must apply for admission for 2014 and 

receive confirmation from Unisa that their application 

has been successful. 

A postgraduate qualification is what you make of it. 

Initially, it requires careful planning and consideration, 

but once you start studying, you’ll need to work hard, 

be focused and determined, and be able to work 

independently. These skills will have been developed to 

some extent in your previous studies, but this level of 

study will develop them further. 

By now you should also have a good idea about where 

your interests lie, where you want to focus and what you 

want from your qualification. 

Online learning: 

A different way of 

studing for a particular 

type of student. 

Studying towards an honours degree, postgraduate 

certificate or postgraduate diploma can be an 

exhilarating experience, a true journey of discovery. 

Use what you learnt in your previous studies, make use 

of the services and resources offered by Unisa, work 

conscientiously and methodically, and you’ll stand every 

chance of success. 

Remember, all postgraduate studies at Unisa are 

offered largely online. 

109
