Unisa Registration Online Payment
Unisa Registration Online Payment Method: Online Registration At Unisa
Unisa’s registration fees for the 2025 academic year are generally lower than other higher education institutions, but studying is still a significant investment either way. The registration cost depends on the qualification, obviously, as well as the number of modules you choose.
The average student who registers between 4 to 6 modules per year will have to pay a cost of between R1 815,00 and R7 550,00 per module (these amounts are subject to change). The module costs do not include your prescribed books. Books are an additional cost that you must factor into your calculations for your full costs of study.
For the convenience of registrants, Unisa has provided a variety of different payment methods and payment channels, plus refund and other information. In the case of electronic transfers, please ensure that the reference field is completed correctly. No cash or cheques will be accepted at any Unisa office. Cash can, however, be paid into the university’s bank account at any First National Bank (FNB) and ABSA Bank branches.
