Important communication from UNISA – 2019 year of intake
Dear Training Officer and Training Office Administrator.
SAICA has received the information below from UNISA, please pass this along to your trainees.
Kind regards,
Bev Herbst
SAICA
I would like to share the following communication with you from Unisa.
Please download the document below that indicates the various pathways towards a CA (SA) through Unisa.
In particular, I wish to emphasise the application requirement as highlighted below. This is relevant to any of your students who may fail the academic year and wish to register with Unisa for 2019. If they do not follow the pre-registration application process by the cut-off dates indicated below they will be UNABLE to study at Unisa next year. Students at risk of failing should be encouraged to undertake this process in case they wish to register. HODs at residential universities are requested to assist in communicating this message to students.
ESSENTIAL 2018 APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDY IN 2019
All prospective Unisa students, as well as existing Unisa students intending to register for a new qualification in 2019, must apply online via the Unisa website (www.unisa.ac.za/apply), during the dedicated application periods in 2018. As part of the process, an applicant will be required to upload certain supporting documents and pay a low nominal fee.
Registration for studies in 2019 will only be allowed for successful applicants. It must be emphasised that should a student not apply successfully for admission in time, no registration will be allowed. In addition, no late applications will be allowed.
