This university is an online based learning for students from every aspect of life whether you are working full time, part-time or you are a stay home mother. The online lectures are easy to access and you as a student you have your own student site where you can be able to tracker your performance and get your academic record and also get your study material in PDF, so you can download them for use later. I would recommend this University to anyone who wants to study at home or who is working.
View moreWhen I got to unisa I thought it’ll be bad considering it’s a distance learning but it’s not that bad. The lecturers do make arrangements with students left behind with school work just so everyone is in the same path.
View moreSo far my experience on this university has been good, although I would say it was a very rude awakening because 98% of the time you are your own teacher, and I am a first year LLB student. The university is great for people who are working because of the flexible time schedule.
View moreI called UNISA this morning requesting proof of registration and official exam results for the first semester. I spoke Kemi Malale, she said I am wasting her time when I was requesting for these important documents so that I can claim money from my bursary to pay the outstanding fees for the second semester. Then she insulted me and dropped the phone while talking to her. I am very disappointed with the service I got from UNISA today.
View moreOnline examinations are bad due to loadshedding affecting the whole country. The university doesn’t cater for affected students, you’ll have to re-register the module in which it delays your goals and prosperity and puts one into financial constraints.
View moreMy opinion about University Of South Africa is that it is a great distance learning university. I get to study and work at the same time. I study at my own and at the comfort of my own home. This is a very nice University. Since it’s a distance learning university, sometimes I go directly to the offices in Johannesburg, they have friendly staff who works there and they are very helpful.

View moreWith my programme, I’ve experienced that some lecturers aren’t active in student grievances. I know I have had problems with my network which causes me to lose time to submit especially with the new system. It’s not accommodating not only for me but for most people. The new system is difficult. Unisa should be more accomodating.
