Unisa Timetable 2026-2027

How to Access and Use the UNISA Timetable for 2026-2027:

Unisa has released its timetable for the 2025-2026 academic year, therefore, potential students and returning students must download their timetable to guide them through the 2025-2026 academic year. The Unisa 2026-2027 timetable is available on the official website of UNISA. Get yourself a copy.

At the time of admission, Unisa students will have a provisional review timetable available to ensure that they can make an informed decision. On the Unisa website are the review dates for all modules. At the time of registration, the student must make sure that the exams for which they register do not interfere with any religious responsibilities that might take place during the year.

Students in foreign countries must ensure that any public holidays in their particular country do not overlap with the test dates. If the student is unable to write/sit for an exam due to a public holiday, if he or she passes, the student must apply to have the exam postponed. These students are also subject to that country’s laws and regulations. Unisa cannot be held accountable for any missed exams arising from the above-mentioned examinations.

This timetable reflects Unisa’s overarching goal of providing a flexible and well-organized educational framework, particularly suited for distance learners. The 2026-2027 academic timetable thus becomes a cornerstone in students’ academic planning and success at Unisa. Through the use of modern technology and communication platforms, Unisa demonstrates its dedication to maintaining a seamless academic experience throughout the year. Overall, the Unisa Timetable 2026-2027 is a pivotal reference for all students aiming to navigate their educational journey with precision and confidence.

The Unisa final examination timetable will be published at least a month before the beginning of the examination period. It will be available on myUnisa as well. If you have not received your final timetable two weeks before the initial examination date, please contact the university immediately.
