Aegrotat applications are only permitted for postgraduate students who missed the first examination opportunity to write their online examinations. 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. Students are advised to visit the Aegrotat and Special Exams (unisa.ac.za) web page for the application process. Please note: The institution only accepts web applications. No aegrotat applications submitted via e-mail will be accepted. Aegrotat applications are not processed for postgraduate students who missed their second examination opportunity.
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.
In accordance with policy, Unisa does not grant third aegrotat opportunities to students to write their missed examinations. Students who missed their second examination opportunity 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
