Unisa general admission requirements Admission
To be admitted to study at Unisa you must meet the specific admission requirements for your chosen qualification. If you don’t meet these requirements, we will either give you alternative admission opportunities or ask you to follow an extended programme, which means that you will register for limited modules in your first year and receive additional learner support for that year.
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.
