Earlier this week, the University released a statement about students who are unable to register, instructing them what steps to take next.
Unreleased Exam Results Meant Some Students Can't Register
With only a few days left for Unisa registration to take place, the University released a statement addressing some urgent matter, including issues which have arisen. One such issue is that students are unable to register due to their results for the May/June exams not yet being released.
Unisa said that around 3% of results are outstanding, explaining:
The university is aware that some students are unable to complete their registration as a result of outstanding results ... These are expected to be released before registration closes.
Students do however not need to worry as Unisa has said that "officials are working around the clock to ensure that the outstanding results from the May/June 2023 examinations are released as a matter of urgency".
Students Who Have Outstanding Debt And Couldn't Register
Students who have to still pay their 2022 Unisa fees but who are left with a maximum of two modules to complete their qualification are being allowed to register during this registration period. They must however submit and have their Acknowledgement of Debt (AOD) form approved.
NSFAS Outcomes Are Delayed And Affects Students' Registration
NSFAS-funded students have also been experiencing delays with their funding decisions. However, Unisa has said that these students will be allowed to register.
Their registration will be subject to terms and conditions and will have a similar arrangement as the one mentioned for students with outstanding fees.
