Congratulations on receiving an offer from the University of South Africa (UNISA). This is an exciting step towards your academic journey.
To help you understand the process and ensure you don’t miss any important steps, here’s a straightforward guide on what to do next.
What Is the First-Year Experience (FYE) MOOC?
The First-Year Experience (FYE) MOOC is a free online course designed to help first-time UNISA students adjust to university life. It’s a prerequisite before you can accept your offer.
The course covers essential topics like time management, study skills, and how to use UNISA’s online platforms effectively.
You can access the FYE MOOC on the UNISA website.
How Do I Accept or Decline the Offer?
After completing the FYE MOOC, you need to accept or decline your offer within 10 working days. To do this:
- Visit www.unisa.ac.za/acceptoffer.
- Click on “Offer” and follow the instructions provided.
Remember, you can only accept one offer per academic year.
If you applied for two qualifications, wait for both to be processed and then accept your preferred choice.
What Happens If I Don’t Accept the Offer?
If you don’t accept the offer within the specified timeframe, UNISA reserves the right to withdraw the offer.
This means you may lose your place for the upcoming semester. Therefore, it’s important to respond promptly.
