The online registration procedure at Unisa is fast, uncomplicated, and precise. During the online registration process, the system will alert you to any missing or inaccurate information, guiding you to ensure the inclusion of all necessary details when submitting your registration form. The steps are outlined as follows.
Unisa has made it easy for you to access some of your administrative information/functions. Login to myUnisa to access our administrative forms (eg cancellation, add modules). Please note: Faxed and/or e-mailed forms are no longer accepted.
At the point of registration, you will have two delivery options to choose from for your first study pack for the semester / year. This only applies to modules that have printed study material. No first study packs will be sent via the South African Post Office.
Study material is also available online on myUnisa.
1. Counter
Unisa has decided to re-open the collection of study material at the existing counters. The following counter options will be available when you register: Sunnyside, Science Campus (Florida), Durban, Pietermaritzburg, East London, Port Elizabeth, Mthatha, Mafikeng, Parow (Cape Town), Polokwane, Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg. Four additional counters will be launched for semester 1 of 2023 and they will be available when you register: Nelspruit, Middleburg, Giyani and Vaal.
Students who choose this option will receive an SMS to notify them of the arrival of their study material at the counter of their choice. Please note that you must collect your study material within 5 days of receiving your SMS.
You will need to provide your student number at the point of collection. If you send someone else to collect your study material on your behalf, please provide him or her with your student number and confirmation SMS.
2. Courier
Please provide Unisa with the following:
- A valid and active cellphone number
- An alternative and valid contact number (in case we can’t get hold of you via your cellphone number)
- A valid and correct courier / physical delivery address
In an effort to ensure that study material packs are delivered on time to the right student, Unisa requires the student (or a designated person) to present proof of identity and provide a contact number to the courier company.
This information, together with the recipient’s full name, surname and legible signature, will be captured on the courier delivery form to ensure that study material packs are delivered timeously and to the correct student.
3. Post Office
Please note that no first study pack parcels will be sent via the South African Post Office (SAPO).
Provide Unisa with a correct address, suburb and postal code, and a valid and active cellphone number.
Please note:
- This delivery option only applies to your first study pack. Follow-up items will be sent via courier using face-to-face delivery or Bio-Box located at some petrol stations. An SMS for collection will be sent to you by the courier. You must collect your parcel within 48 hours of receiving the SMS. Once you have registered, you must register on myUnisa. This will enable you to access your study material online.
- Study material for second semester modules will only be sent to you at the start of the second semester. Second semester study material will also only be available on myUnisa at the start of the second semester.
- All communication sent to you after the initial study package (with the exception of study guides) will be sent electronically to your myLife e-mail account (eg follow-up tutorial letters, examination timetables and results, financial statements). You will no longer receive such communication in printed format.
- You are encouraged to access your study material online.
