cancellation. • The Licensee must communicate the result to the student as agreed
with Unisa in the Licensee contract and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as well as the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
• Do not instruct the student to contact Unisa, or the Licensee section for the result.
• Results can also be viewed on the LSA Website
General misunderstandings 1) Licensee online registrations are live
Advisors only receive the online registrations that had problems and/or error messages
Please try to resolve the error messages on your side
Rather complete a registration even if it means you can only register the student for one module
Send an email to [email protected] to help you resolve the matter OR do online addition for the unsuccessful modules
General misunderstandings cont
2) Can semester changes be done on the licensee online?
NO The reason:
Semester changes are done free of charge before the relevant closing date for registration
Therefore an advisor must first do an admin cancellation(cancellation with full refund) then ADD the module for the new period
General misunderstandings cont
• Please DO NOT do a normal online cancellation and then a online addition. This creates complications for the student = fees are forfeited in which event an addition cannot be done
• Procedures:– Send and email to [email protected] requesting for
the exchange of semesters please provide module codes– Complete the required form with your licensee stamp,
scan and email it to the above email address
