Unisa Registration Web

Unisa Registration Web

Applicants (new applicants and Unisa students who applied for admission to a new qualification) can register only if they have received a placement offer from Unisa and have accepted the offer online. Also, Unisa reserves the right not to process and/or cancel your registration if it is found that you have been admitted to a qualification incorrectly.

All re-registering students and students who officially deferred their studies should register for the 2026 academic year during the relevant registration period.

You will need the following to register on the Web:

Student Number: You should be a returning student or a first-time student at Unisa who has successfully applied for admission. All students with a student number can not register. Also, students who don’t remember their student number should retrieve it from here.
Email Address: Once you are registered, a free Email for life is provided by Unisa. If you have not yet claimed your account, take the time to claim your UNISA Login.
