Unisa Application NDP 2025/2026

Unisa Application NDP 2025/2026

Admission to and registration for NDP is restricted and will only be considered in exceptional cases due to limited spaces available at the university. Admission to study a module for NDP will only be considered if the admission requirements and/or prerequisites for the module have been met. A student may apply to register concurrently for two NDP modules towards a postgraduate qualification and one outstanding minor or major module for the undergraduate degree. This must be done using the DSAR16 form (http://www.unisa.ac.za/registerformsandcodes).

To be allowed for this concession a student must have applied for admission into a Postgraduate qualification for the academic year 2025. The outstanding module should not form part of the major subject required for admission to the postgraduate qualification except CTA. NDP
modules for a postgraduate qualification will be cancelled in June of the academic year if a student fails to pass the outstanding module for the undergraduate qualification. The student will then forfeit the initial amount paid at the time of registration.

Students may not register for a formal qualification at the university if concurrently registered for a formal or non-formal programme at another university. Such students, however, may be allowed to register for non-degree purposes (NDP) at Unisa if their application for concurrent registration is accompanied by a letter of permission from the other university indicating the modules to be taken at Unisa.
