The University of South Africa (Unisa) has stated that they are not going to accept any late applications or documents that will be submitted after the closing date for application. For this matter, if you want to apply for admission to the 2024 – 2025 academic year, you have to re-apply during the next application period prescribed by Unisa. The reason why is that Unisa always wants to deal with “first come, first serve”. That is why we always encourage everyone who wishes to apply to study at Unisa to join the early bird applicants in other for your application to reach the authorities of the institution on time.
Unisa opened their 2024 applications on 1 September and closed the 2024 application period on 14 October. It’s often found that individuals did not apply in time and would benefit from a Unisa late applications period.
This application period was for anyone wanting to study undergraduate qualifications such as Higher Certificate programmes, Advanced Certificate programmes, Diploma programmes, Advanced Diploma programmes and Degree programmes. Applications for Honours Degrees And Postgraduate Diplomas also came to an end on 14 October.
Will There Be Unisa Late Application For 2024?
Unisa has not yet said whether there will be a late application period. Usually, no applications submitted late would be considered but should they provide a late applications opportunity, you would be able to apply.
The University of South Africa has in previous years offered a late applications period but this is dependent on whether there are still space available in programmes.
