Unisa Registration Account Number Guide for New and Returning Students:

The UNISA Registration Account Number is an exclusive identifying identifier offered to each potential student who applies to the University of South Africa. It is used as a reference number throughout the registration process, from initial application through course enrolment and beyond. Upon successful application, candidates are given this number, which they may use to check their registration status and manage their academic matters.

For your convenience, we provide a variety of different payment methods. The following table details ways to pay, payment channels, plus refund and other information. In the case of electronic transfers, please ensure that the reference field is completed correctly. No cash or cheques will be accepted at any Unisa office. Cash can, however, be paid into the university’s bank account at any First National Bank (FNB) and ABSA Bank branches.

The Registration Account Number is an important technique for identifying each student in the UNISA database. It guarantees that all academic data, correspondence, and interactions are correctly associated with the appropriate person.
