A minimum fee amount is payable by the closing date for registration for each module for which you register, as well as the outstanding balance by the relevant due dates.
From 2023, the research proposal is no longer a stand-alone module. The research proposal is now incorporated into the dissertation. Students register directly for the dissertation. From 2024, research master's students may now pay their fees in three instalments. Registration will be activated on receipt of the initial minimum payment. The outstanding balances must be paid by the relevant due dates in order to avoid financial cancellation. All fees must be paid into the Unisa official bank account with the correct reference number or else the university will not be able to process your registration before the relevant closing date. In the case where a letter from an employer / sponsor confirming that they assume responsibility for payment is supplied, the university can provide the employer / sponsor with a quotation.
Registration will only be activated upon receipt of the minimum payment by the relevant closing date. Compulsory miscellaneous fees, where applicable, are also payable on registration. These include the levy for students in foreign countries. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the sponsor pays the fees on time. No late payments will be accepted. It is advisable for a student to pay his / her own fees and claim it back from the sponsor.
