You’ve identified the qualifications connected to your career interests and future plans. The next step is selecting the qualification(s) you wish to pursue. Unisa will then evaluate your application and inform you of the result.
Unisa offers undergraduate qualifications at various NQF levels. You can apply for two qualifications. Consider applying for a lower-level qualification alongside your preferred one.
For instance, if you’re interested in a Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) degree, you might also want to apply for a higher certificate in the College of Economic and Management Sciences to meet admission requirements. As you proceed, you’ll gain clarity on the qualifications you’re eligible for.
If you’ve finished a higher certificate and aim to apply for a diploma or degree, check out the list of related qualifications by clicking here. Keep in mind that having a lower-level qualification doesn’t guarantee admission to a higher-level one (like a diploma or bachelor’s degree), due to limited spaces.
Click here for more information about Unisa’s general admission requirements (including equivalency tables for applicants who wrote matric before 2009 and applicants with foreign qualifications).
Applicants (new applicants & Unisa students who applied for admission to a new qualification) may only register if they have received an offer of placement from Unisa and have accepted the offer online.
Unisa reserves the right to not process and / or to cancel your registration if it is found that you were incorrectly admitted to a qualification.
Re-registering students must register for the 2023 academic year during the relevant registration period.
The university provides all registered students with a free myLife e-mail address. It is yourresponsibility to activate your myLife e-mail account as soon as your registration has been finalised.
Your myLife e-mail account will be the only e-mail account recognised by Unisa for official correspondence to and from the university, and will remain the official primary e-mail address on record at Unisa
