Students are reminded that undergraduate students may not apply for an Aegrotat. Undergraduate students are entitled to use two consecutive opportunities per module to take their examinations. The second examination opportunity caters to missed or failed examinations in the first examination opportunity. Undergraduate students who apply for an aegrotat will automatically receive a system error.
Aegrotat applications are thus only permitted for postgraduate students who missed their first examination opportunity. Postgraduate students who were adversely affected by loadshedding and/or network challenges during their examinations or who experienced the death of loved ones or illness during the examinations are requested to apply online for an aegrotat within 10 days of their scheduled examination sitting. Aegrotat applications are not considered after the release of marks. Aegrotat applications will not be processed for postgraduate students who missed their second opportunity. Students are advised to visit the Aegrotat and Special Exams (unisa.ac.za) web page for the application process. The institution no longer accepts Aegrotat applications submitted via e-mail.
In accordance with policy, Unisa does not grant third examination opportunities to students to rewrite their missed examinations. In such cases, students are required to re-register for the module.
Please note: Modules with portfolio (evidence-based) assessment, continuous assessment, practical assessment or experiential assessment and those modules which require research reports are not granted an aegrotat opportunity.
Students are advised to send all examination-related enquiries to exams@unisa.ac.za
