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 enrollment and beyond. Upon successful application, candidates are given this number, which they may use to check their registration status and manage their academic matters.

The University of South Africa (Unisa) assigns a unique registration account number to each student upon enrollment, which is essential for managing fee payments and registration processes. One of the key account numbers associated with Unisa student payments is 627 9963 0382, known as the Unisa registration account number or Unisa Student Deposits account.

For your convenience, we provide a variety of 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.

Important Notes for Students

Unisa does not accept cash payments at its offices; all payments must be made through banks.
Incorrect or incomplete payment references can cause delays in processing and allocation of funds.
Refunds are generally not processed for credit balances less than R100.00.
If a payment is made into the wrong account, students should immediately send proof of payment and their student number to Unisa’s finance department via email for correction.
