How Many Chances Does A Unisa Student Need To Write Exams For A Course
A course has only one examination per semester. No supplementary papers are available for students who did not write the examination at the end of their course.
According to University regulations, students MUST write their examinations in the academic semester that they are enrolled for. This means that a student who has, for example, submitted all assignments in the first semester of 2004, but for some reason miss the exams, CANNOT sit for the examination in November 2004. Only REGISTERED students may write examinations, and if a student misses the dates for the exams in June 2004, he or she has to re-register (pay registration fees) again in July 2004 to be eligible to write the examination.
Unfortunately, NO special arrangements are made for candidates who cannot write the exam. The only assistance we can offer to students who miss the exam dates is to give a rebate on registration fees for the next year. Please take note, that this is not an automatic arrangement, but students who cannot write their exams must make special arrangements with the lecturers in this regard.
