Welcome to UnisaDear Prospective Student

I am delighted that you are considering Unisa as your university of choice for 2011.

Unisa is an internationally accredited open distance learning institution, which means that you, the student, become the focus of all we do. We give you the choice over what, when and where you learn, how you learn and at what pace you learn.

If you have just finished school or have been attending a contact university, you will very likely be used to face-to-face contact with your teachers and fellow students. Studying at Unisa, however, works a little differently and you will be required to do much of your studying on your own. You will receive most of your study material in the form of study guides and tutorial letters, which you will have to work through independently, but you will be able to contact your lecturers and tutors if you need to.

Approximately 280 000 students register to study through Unisa each year and I sincerely hope that you will become part of the Unisa student body in 2011, so that one day you too can count yourself among the numbers of esteemed Unisa alumni.

Kind regardsProf MS MakhanyaPro-Vice-ChancellorUniversity of South AfricaJune 2010

Level 1You will learn more about Unisa and about how Unisa works. It is very important that you understand that Unisa is different from other universities. Students at residential universities will attend classes on campus, but as a Unisa student, you will study at home and will learn by studying what your lecturers have written in the study guides and tutorial letters. In level 1, you will be able to decide if Unisa is the right university for you. Being an ODL student means that you can study at your own pace and in your own time, but you may have to make some sacrifices if you want to be a successful student. If like many Unisa students, you are working either full time or part time, much of your studying will take place at night or over weekends, which will leave little time for relaxation. In level 1, we will also help you to make a career decision (if you don’t already know what you want to do) by looking at your interests, values, skills, support, career influences and the labour market. Based on that information, we will help you to choose a Unisa qualification.

Level 2This is the applications level. As a prospective student, you must apply to register at Unisa. You may not register to study through Unisa if you have not submitted an application form and received confirmation from Unisa that your application was successful. We will take you through this application process in detail in section 6 of this brochure.

Level 3This is the registration level. If Unisa approved your application to study in level 2, you will now be able to register for your approved qualification. You will receive the brochure/CD entitled my Registration @ Unisa. You will now be able to register at one of our campuses or regional centres, or via the internet or mail. All the information you need will be provided in the my Registration @ Unisa pack.

Level 4

We will give you the information you need to be a successful Unisa student. This is a very important phase, as it provides you with an orientation to studying through Unisa, and is where teaching and learning is initiated. You will receive your study material and will have to plan your activities, study independently and submit assignments to demonstrate your competencies. At the end of the semester (or year in some cases), you will need to write examinations at an exam centre close to you. Much of the information about Unisa’s services and procedures is found in the brochure/DVD entitled my Studies @ Unisa.

Level 5 This is the level for Unisa alumni, that is, Unisa graduates. By this level of the ODL student walk, you will be a Unisa alumnus. The university would like to communicate with all alumni on a regular basis, so we urge you to maintain contact with us.

How does Unisa work? Unisa is an open distance learning (ODL) institution. But what does this mean for you?

If you are in Grade 12, have finished school or have been attending a contact university, you will most likely be used to face-to-face contact with your teachers and fellow students in a classroom setting. Distance learning is very different. As a Unisa student, you will be required to study independently, that is, on your own. You will receive study material in the form of study guides and tutorial letters for each of your modules, and you will be able to contact your lecturers and tutors, but for the most part, you will work on your own.

So what exactly is open distance learning? In a nutshell, you, the student, become the focus of all we do. Through ODL, we give you the choice over what, when and where you learn, how you learn and at what pace you learn. To simplify the concept of ODL, Unisa has developed an ODL student walk to help you understand the process. This walk comprises five levels. And for each level, we have compiled a set of products (brochure, CD/DVD, FAQs, website), which contains essential information about the level.

This brochure, my Choice @ Unisa, deals with levels 1 and 2 of the ODL student walk.

Unisa, wherever you are...At Unisa, we strongly believe that no matter where a student is located geographically, there should be no difference in the level or quality of support services available. To ensure consistency of services to students across South Africa, we have five regions, namely, Cape Coastal, KwaZulu-Natal, Midlands, North Eastern and Gauteng. For the benefit of students outside South Africa, we have partnerships with other higher education institutions, which make their facilities available to Unisa students.

Is Unisa for me? Unisa is an open distance learning (ODL) university, which means that you can study at home or even pursue your career while studying. Through ODL, we give you the choice over what, when and where you learn, how you learn and at what pace you learn.

You must, however, be sure that you are prepared to study independently at a distance. This is why it is so important for you to find out before you register if Unisa is the right university for you.

Personal circumstances Have you told your family and friends that you are considering studying through Unisa? Do they know that you will need to study regularly? Will they motivate and support you? Studying through Unisa often means having to study at night or over weekends... times when friends and family relax, socialise and join in on fun activities. Will your family and friends understand that you won’t always be able to join them? Talk to them before you register. Tell them how you intend to organise your life while you are studying, and explain that you will need their support and encouragement.

Work and studyAre you working full time or even part time? Will your employer allow you to take leave to finish assignments or attend tutoring sessions? Discuss your proposed studies with your employer; explain the nature of distance learning and the fact that you will have to combine work with studies. Once your employer understands what will be required of you and how important your studies are for your career advancement, it will be easier to negotiate special assistance or get access to resources at work. It is challenging to work and study, but tens of thousands of Unisa students are doing it and are highly successful in advancing their careers.

Planning your studiesYou also have responsibilities if you want to be a successful student. Although the university provides a number of support services (eg academic skills development, counselling, student wellness), you have a responsibility to plan your studies and conscientiously work through your study material in a constructive way if you want to be a successful student. There are no guarantees in life, but your chances of success at Unisa are far greater if you plan your studies, are committed to working through your study material and if you interact with the university whenever you need support. Most importantly, you must ensure that your study load, that is, the number of modules for which you register is realistic in relation to your responsibilities, commitments and the time you have available to study.

Towards profiling yourselfIt is therefore possible to be successful at Unisa by preparing yourself in terms of the scenario we presented above.

So, are you ready to study through Unisa?

To help you to determine whether Unisa is the right university for you, we have compiled a check list for you to work through. There are two parts to this check list. The first, on the right, is what we call your abilities profile. This will help you to get an overall picture of your abilities. There are no right or wrong answers, so just be as honest as you can.

If you ticked more than two statements in this check list, we suggest that you make an appointment with a counsellor at Unisa’s Directorate for Counselling, Career & Academic Development for assistance (see section 4 of this brochure for more information).

These check lists are an attempt to help you manage your expectations. It explains how your motivation is tied to understanding the skills that you need in order to be successful at university. It encourages you to seek help when you encounter difficulties. If you don’t ask, we cannot help you. When you persist with help-seeking behaviour, you ensure your path to graduation.

Before you move onto the next section of this brochure, stop for a moment and answer the following questions:

Is there an examination venue near you?

Have you checked that there is a Unisa exam venue close to where you live? Go to page 56 of this brochure and make sure that you will not have to travel long distances to get to an exam venue. Travelling long distances to an exam venue will be both demanding on you and expensive.

Do you have enough money for your studies?

Have you made arrangements to finance your studies and pay for your prescribed books? In 2010, Unisa’s undergraduate modules cost between R850 and R975 each. These fees increase on average by 10% each year. In addition, you will also have to buy your prescribed books for each module. Students often calculate and budget for their study fees, but forget that they have to buy prescribed books, which may add substantially to the cost of your studies. We suggest that you contact Unisa to get a quote on what your prescribed books may cost you before you register (012 429 4152; [email protected]).

You may also contact NSFAS via Unisa’s Financial Aid Bureau ([email protected]) or EduLoan (www.eduloan.co.za) for possible financial assistance.

So where do I begin?Before you can decide what to study at Unisa, you need to work out where you are now, where you want to be and what you need to do to get there. The following information and activities will help you to get started with the process of thinking about your career and the choices that you need to make before you apply to study through Unisa.

To get you started with your research about study options:

n Unisa website (http://www.unisa.ac.za)

n gostudy (http://www.gostudy.co.za)

To get you started with your research about careers:

n Unisa Counselling, Career & Academic Development (http://www.unisa.ac.za/counselling)

n Pace Careers Centre (http://www.pacecareers.com/careercentre)

n Umsobomvu Youth Fund (http://www.youthportal.org.za)

n Prospects (http://www.prospects.ac.uk)

n O*Net online (http://www.online.onetcenter.org)

What do you need to think of when making a career decision?Career decisions are influenced by a variety of factors which need to come together before you will be able to make an effective career decision. You will need to gather information and think about your interests, values, skills, career influences, study options, the labour market and the support you are likely to get from others. Each of these factors is influenced by and influences the career vision and life goals that you have.

We’d like to suggest that you start some sort of system to keep track of your career development. You could possibly use a notebook, file or a computer to store the information you will gather about your career decisions and to make notes of what you did, how you feel, what you have learnt and what you still need to do. You can use the activities in this book to start with this and update it as you continue on your career journey.

Your career vision is your picture of what you want out of life - where you see yourself at 30, at 40 and perhaps even at 80. If you were to look back, what would you want to say about your life?

You are thinking about studying through Unisa in 2011. What will be different for you as a result of your studies? Use the block below to write down or even draw a picture of what you see changing. Try to summarise your career vision.


1 My career vision

Steps in making a choice The following eight steps will help you to make a choice about what you want to become and what you want to study. Spend some time working through each of these steps and perhaps even ask a friend or family member to work through them with you.

3 My skills (what I’m good at)

2 My life goals

Your life goals are what you wish for in your life and how you intend to achieve them. Your goals can be related to your career, but they can also be related to your family, your studies and your community. Describe your goals and then think about practical things you need to do to make them happen. If, for example, one of your goals is to buy a house for your family in ten years, you could achieve this by working part-time now to pay for your studies in Accounting. By doing this, you will be able to start saving for a deposit on your house after you find employment as a financial accountant in the banking industry. Remember, reaching a goal starts with a number of small steps.

Skills are abilities that you have developed and which you are able to use effectively. You develop skills as a result of your experiences. These experiences can include voluntary, paid or unpaid work, and family and community responsibilities. Skills that most organisations value include good communication skills, interpersonal skills, teamwork, personal management skills, the ability to think critically, leadership, technical skills and social responsibility.

Think about your life experiences (work, studies and personal) and link them to specific skills that you have developed. Also, reflect on how these skills relate to your career choices.

Example:

Think about...

n Can you identify themes in terms of the skills that you developed?

n Can you link specific occupations to your skills?

If not... don’t panic! Contact the Directorate for Counselling, Career & Academic Development for further assistance with this.

Now you try:

This is my goal: I want to achieve it (when)... How will I achieve this goal?

Experience Skill(s) developed How does this relate to my career choice?

Managing the household and caring for younger siblings

Personal management and social responsibility

I need to work where I can make a difference and take care of children in need

Experience Skill(s) developed How does this relate to my career choice?

4 My values (what’s important to me)

Your values show what is important to you and they have a significant effect on the career choices that you make. Your values are shaped by your family, community, your work environment and your experiences. Here are some examples of how values could influence career decisions:

n Sipho is desperately unhappy with his current administrative job and he wants more challenges. He sees a job advert at his company for a sales representative training programme and is very interested. If he takes the position, it will mean a lot of travelling. Is he willing to be away from his family for long periods at a time? Is the excitement of travelling for a sales job more important?

n Celia is good at organising events such as weddings and birthday parties for her family and friends. Does she take the risk and resign from her secure job to make event planning a full-time business?

The list below contains some common values (you can add your own if you prefer). Please read through the list and tick the five values that are most important to you

Now write down your five values in order of importance:

1

2

3

4

5

Think about...

Can you link your values to specific occupations?

How would your values be supported by the career choice you are making? How would your

career choice support your values?

Complete the following sentences in order to understand how your values will influence your studies:

My life is meaningful when…

My career is meaningful when…

My study at Unisa is meaningful when…

Adventure Authority Autonomy

Beauty Belonging Challenge

Creativity Curiosity Duty

5 My career influences

Friends

Family

Knowing myself

Money

Media (TV, movies, the internet, radio)

Observing others at work

Economic/job trends

Where do my career ideas come from? To know where you are going you need to know where you come from. Please think how the following people, things and events have influenced your career.

I was also influenced by...

My role model is... Why?

6 My support

7 The labour market

n Check how many items you have marked towards “little support”.

n Check how many items you have marked towards “sufficient support”.

n If you do not have support, studying at Unisa might be problematic, but not impossible. It means that you might need to register for fewer modules per semester because you have many commitments. It might also mean that you need to plan well in advance in terms of how you are planning on paying for your studies for the following year or semester.

n If you have enough support, it means that you have to put effort into maintaining this support.

Labour market information can help you when you search for work, plan your career or explore self-employment opportunities. It is essential information to have if you want to make informed career decisions and/or search for a job. It can tell you how industries and occupations are changing and whether they are growing or declining; what skills are needed; and the working conditions for specific jobs and industries.

There are many factors that influence the availability of jobs such as the impact of globalisation (local companies having to compete on the global market) and technology (use of computers and the availability of information electronically) on the international and national labour market. This means that you need to do continuous research as circumstances change constantly. Also, you will need to be creative in finding labour market information – all the information that you need is not stored in one place.

Before you get started with your research, you need to think about what you are collecting the information for. Is it for an immediate job search or for future career planning? What information do you need? Information about businesses in your area? Information about different occupations and jobs? Information about education and training opportunities? About salaries? About working conditions? About starting your own business?

Possible sources of information could be family, friends, newspapers, the internet, companies, government (Department of Labour), Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs), non-government organisations (NGOs) or even community-based organisations (CBOs).

How do I apply for student funding?Do I qualify for an NSFAS loan and what are the criteria?Financially needy and academically deserving students who are applying for formal qualifications may apply for funding. Foreign students do not qualify for NSFAS funding.

What does it cover and is the funding renewable?

Study fees and academic essentials such as prescribed books and tutorial classes are funded. No accommodation, meals, pocket money or transport is covered. An NSFAS loan is renewable on proof of academic progress and is subject to the availability of funds.

How should I obtain my prescribed books?Option 1You may use the Wizzit card to purchase prescribed books at an official bookstore that has an agreement with Eduloan and/or Unisa. You may collect your Wizzit card 14 working days after submitting the correctly completed Loan Agreement Form. Choose a bookstore to collect the card and then purchase your prescribed books at any of the official bookstores.

Option 2Any student living in a remote area without a bookstore must submit a formal quotation from any official Unisa/Eduloan bookstore for the prescribed books required. A cheque will be issued in the service provider’s name and will be either mailed to the student at the postal address specified at registration or can be collected by the student from the DSF or from a Unisa regional

How do I apply for funding? Fill in the NSFAS Loan Application Form and hand it in at any of Unisa’s regional offices (Student Administration), the Registration Hall on the Sunnyside campus or post it to the Directorate: Student Funding (PO Box 392, Unisa, 0003). Do a temporary registration at the beginning of Unisa’s registration period (your registration will only be finalised once your Loan Agreement Form has been processed). Ask the Directorate of Student Funding to process your application to determine whether or not your application was successful. If your application is successful, sign the pre-agreement quotation and the Loan Application Form. Your legal guardian must sign a consent form and submit a certified copy of his or her ID if you are not yet 18 years of age. Collect your Wizzit card and purchase your required textbooks.

n A certified of death certificate(s) in case of deceased parent(s)

n A certified copy of marriage certificate or divorce decree or death certificate of spouse

n Recent proof of income (ie payslip, pension slip, affidavit with details of income)

How and when should I repay the loan? A loan is repayable as soon as you secure employment (irrespective of whether or not you have completed your qualification) and are earning an annual salary of R26 300 or more. Repayments can either be deducted from your salary, by means of debit order or by depositing the money directly into the NSFAS account (contact NSFAS on 021 763 3232 in this regard).

What other financial options (bursaries) are available?n Department of Labour: for undergraduate students with disabilities
