You must pass a minimum number of credits/modules annually so that you can re-register and continue with your qualification:

At least 36 NQF credits (3 modules of 12 credits each) in your first year of study;
At least 48 NQF credits (4 modules of 12 credits each) in your second or further years of study.

You may not register for more than the allowed maximum number of credits/modules per semester:

At least 60 NQF credits (5 modules of 12 credits each) in a semester;
At least 120 NQF credits (10 modules of 12 credits each) per year for year modules. Unisa semester

The maximum number of credits does not include supplementary and/or aegrotat examinations from a previous semester. Modules taken for non-degree/non-diploma purposes also count towards the maximum number of credits allowed.

6 to 8 hours per week for semester modules;
4 to 6 hours per week for year modules.
