The University of South Africa (Unisa) has confirmed when its students will receive their January/February 2024 exam results. The exams were completed last month.
The January/February 2024 examination period was for year modules with the original scheduling of the January/February 2024 examination period. It also allowed students to take their second chance exams.
Unisa has initiated the gradual release of the January/February 2024 exam results. It's expected that most grades will be available by 10 March 2023. Any inquiries regarding mark releases should be directed to [email protected].
Students have until 31 March 2024, to request a copy of their exam scripts or to apply for remarking. The online application form for remarking is accessible on myUnisa.
Alternatively, applications can be sent to [email protected]. Script purchases can be arranged by emailing [email protected], with the student number included in the subject line. However, it's important to note that remarking or script purchases aren't available for scripts flagged for disciplinary offences or proctoring tool non-compliance issues.
Unisa exclusively handles inquiries from students' myLife email addresses. Messages from personal email accounts won't receive responses, aligning with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013.
Congratulations to those who have successfully completed their qualifications in this exam season, and best wishes to our returning students for a successful academic year in 2024.
Understanding Your Unisa Result Codes
Unisa examination result codes indicate whether students passed or failed a specific assessment. These codes will also inform students whether or not they are required to re-register for modules or if they will be afforded a second chance to complete an examination or assessment.
Students will receive an academic record from Unisa on which the result code will appeal. Careers Portal has sought to provide students with a result code description to help Unisa students understand the results they received and whether or not further action is required by the student.
