Distance learning requires that you study in your own time and in your own space, but that doesn’t mean you’re on your own. Unisa provides various facilities and services to cater for its diverse student population. Our lecturers, e-tutors, counsellors and the Unisa Library all play a part in making your qualification a reality, as do the various service providers you’ll encounter along the way.
Access Unisa Radio via radio.unisa.ac.za.
Check with your closest regional centre to see if tutorials are offered in your modules.
Most of Unisa’s tutors – the experts we employ to help you – are now e-tutors, communicating exclusively via myUnisa. They’re there to guide you, give you advice, explain difficult concepts and generally enrich your Unisa experience. You may, of course, also contact the lecturers responsible for your modules.
Our Academic Literacies Services focus on supporting Unisa students from undergraduate level to doctoral level in any discipline who aim to develop the following literacy abilities for academic success:
Every Unisa learning centre has a face-to-face Academic Literacies Centre, with a reading and writing, research writing and quantitative literacy service.
Unisa’s counselling services provide career, academic and personal support to students. Support is available online and by e-mail, in person, by telephone and by letter. Visit our website at www.unisa.ac.za/counselling for more.
Unisa’s Student Funding Division (DSF) offers services to assist you in obtaining funding to cover the cost of your studies. Bursaries and loans are available to academically deserving and financially needy students to relieve the stress of worrying about paying for your studies.
