Unisa Fees

Unisa Fees 2027

Unisa Fees Payment:

For all online applications, Unisa has confirmed a non-refundable application fee of R160.00 for the 2027 academic year. This applies to self-help and online applications for undergraduate qualifications and honours degrees. Important to note: you should only pay this fee after you receive your official Unisa student number, using your student number and the correct reference code. The application window for 2027 is from August 17 to October 9, 2026, and no application fees will be accepted after the closing date.

Beyond the application fee, your total Unisa fees for 2027 will depend on your qualification and the number of modules you register for. Unisa charges per module, not as a flat annual degree fee, which gives you flexibility to manage your costs.

Individual module costs typically range from R1,060 to R4,455 per semester or year, depending on your field of study; for example, Law, Education, Science, or Humanities modules are priced differently. For most undergraduate students taking a standard load of 4 to 6 modules per year, the estimated total annual tuition falls between R12,000 and R25,000, excluding prescribed textbooks and study materials.

This modular pricing makes Unisa one of the most affordable universities in South Africa, as you can control your annual spend by choosing how many modules to take. For an exact figure tailored to your course, you can use the official Unisa Study Fees Quotation Portal once 2027 registration details go live. Always check your provisional fees before final registration to avoid surprises.
