  12. Academic exclusion rules (Re-admission Policy) Unisa will implement the policy by the end of 2013 to first time undergraduate students: • HC, diploma and degree students who registered at the beginning of 2013 and failed to obtain 36 credits by the end of 2013 will be phased out, and must complete a 1 year certificate (NQF level 4 or 5) at an accredited institution or University. NB: Students with supplementary/ special exams in May/ June 2014 will be blocked for registration until their results are available to determine if they will be phased out or allowed to continue registration with Unisa • Alternative pathway students will be completely phased out if they failed to obtain 24 credits by the end of 2013 with the exception of those who registered for the first time in June 2013.

  13. Academic Exclusion Rules continued. . . • Students who commenced their studies in June 2013 will only be phased out in June 2014 if they failed to obtain 36 NQF credits (for HC, diploma & degree) and 24 NQF credits for Alternative pathway or Extended programme. NB: Those with supplementary / special exams in Oct/ Nov 2014 will have to await results before registration will be considered further. • Students who were phased out before 2009, must provide proof of a completed one year certificate programme (NQF level 4/ 5) from an accredited institution, with the DSAR07 form to apply for re-admission.

  14. Disciplinary queries and blocks • Disciplinary queries refers to cases of students who were suspended for a specified period of time due to misconduct, e.g, - violation of exam regulation, etc. • These queries must be referred to Mr GO Waldeck at Waldego@unisa.ac.za to lift the blocks or to advise the student if the suspension has not expired

  15. Prescribed forms

  16. Modules per semester/ year • Maximum 60 credits per semester, irrespective of semester in which student registers. • The maximum credits includes any modules for NDP. • Maximum of 120 credits per year ( two semesters). NB: Submission of more than the required credits (modules) will delay student’s registration

  17. Purpose and use of DSAR06 • Only students registered for a qualification weighted at 240 credits and above must apply. • Students in the final semester of registration and needing to take extra 2 modules or 24 credits, in addition to 60 maximum credits for registration, should apply using the DSAR06 form. • Students must complete the form and, only if they meet the requirements of two additional modules • Ensure that the student is in their final semester • The form and supporting documents must be sent to Pretoria (mabuskj@unisa.ac.za ) for referral to the Deputy Registrar’s office for approval.
