Convocation meetings are held annually. Future dates will be shared with Convocants.
At Unisa, the Convocation is responsible for raising matters of concern about the development of the university. An annual meeting provides first-hand information about the strategic direction of the university, policy formulations and other development issues.
In addition, the Convocation advises council or management on matters of present interest and assists the university and the Unisa Foundation with fundraising. It also nominates persons for awards and honorary degrees. The Convocation is represented by two members who are nominated to serve on the Unisa Council.
