Studying through Unisa is a great option for you if you want to be able to work and then study part-time. It is also very useful if the specific course you want to study is full or otherwise not available at another university.
But distance learning does mean you have to be disciplined and organised. You need to keep track of what you should be reading and studying, and when assignments, tests and exams are due.
Unisa students must use MyUnisa which is an online student portal that offers support to students and allows you to keep up with assignments and important dates, as well as providing you with news and announcements about Unisa issues and other research topics.
You will have a much more rewarding distance education experience if you keep on top of important dates and topics.
