I will now address the frequently asked questions regarding the costs of UNISA short courses such as funding, registration fee and how to pay fees for Unisa short courses.

 

Does Nsfas fund Unisa short learning Programmes?

Unisa short courses/short learning programmes are not funded by NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme). Short courses offered by UNISA are self-funded. Tuition fees or other associated costs are the responsibility of the individual enrolled for the course. These short courses are often more affordable and flexible compared to full-degree programs.

Is there a registration fee for Unisa short courses?

Yes there is a registration fee for Unisa short courses. To activate your registration, it is necessary to make a payment of at least the minimum amount specified in your Temporarily Registered status letter, also known as the TP letter.  In case you cannot afford to pay the full minimum amount, a 50% partial payment of the minimum amount is required.

If the total fee for your selected Short Learning Programme is R4500, and you don't have the complete amount available, you can still proceed with registration by making a payment of R1,500, which is half of the minimum required amount of R3000. However, to do this, you must sign the Acknowledgement of Debt (AOD) form, which will allow you to arrange a payment plan for the remaining R3000 debt.
