Unisa offers a second chance if your Unisa application is rejected.
What To Do If Your Unisa Application Is Rejected
Applicants who were informed that their Unisa application was unsuccessful are urged to read the letter from Unisa carefully to check whether any alternative options are provided.
If your application for admission to a qualification or to both qualifications of choice is declined, you may appeal the outcome of your application. You will have 10 days after you received your Unisa application outcome to appeal.
You can appeal if:
- You believe the decision was an error on the part of the university
- Further supporting documents may result in a different outcome regarding your application for admission
You shouldn't appeal if your Unisa application was declined due to your Unisa application having been incomplete or incorrect or if you didn't submit supporting documents.
How To Submit Unisa Appeal
- Go to the Unisa 'Apply for admission to study: application tool' page
- Click on 'Appeal'
- Follow the prompts
- Submit required documents
Appeals will only be considered after the closing date for applications and only if there are still spaces available.
If your application for admission is declined based on you not meeting the minimum admission requirements for your qualification of choice, the university has said that you may apply via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
