Background • Drawing reliable conclusions from early registration trends is tricky • Nonetheless, 2010 trends are noteworthy: • To date, over 105 000 students have registered (formal only – with a further 111 000 temporary registrations in process and to be processed) • While comparisons with previous years are not straightforward, early indications point to increased enrolments over 2009 and even 2008 • In addition, first glimpses of 2010 applications and 2009 graduation ceremony analysis are provided

Key Trends • 2010 provisional enrolments to date suggest increases over 2009 and 2008 • If so, this has important implications for Unisa’s admissions policy and enrolment planning • Just under 100 000 applicants were received for 2010. Of these, 13% have already registered, 10% have been temporarily registered and the remaining 75% have either a) registered but whose forms have not been processed at all; b) not yet registered but intend to; c) not registered and do not intend to • In future, the applications process will be monitored more closely, focusing on the take-up rate and the reasons for this • During the 2009 graduation ceremonies, a total of 21 550 students graduated – up from 17 346 in 2008. (Note: this is a “ceremony view”, not an “academic year view”) • Increases were evident among all colleges, especially CEMS and CHS, and UG certificates and diplomas. A substantial drop in Masters graduates was evident
