How Do I reapply For A Failed Module At Unisa?

Didn’t pass a module at Unisa? Don’t worry, it happens to many students. The good news is, you have options.

If you’ve found yourself needing to retake a module, Unisa offers several options for students who haven’t achieved the desired results.

This article will guide you through the process of reapplying for a failed module at Unisa.

What Are My Options after A Failed Module At Unisa?

Unisa offers students multiple opportunities to pass a module.

Here are some of the most common options available for various circumstances:

  1. Failed the Overall Module: If your final module mark falls below the pass mark (usually 50%), you can retake the entire module during the next registration period.
  2. Failed the Exam Component: Unisa modules often consist of coursework and an exam. If you achieved a good coursework mark but failed the exam, you might be eligible for a second opportunity exam depending on the module’s specific rules.

What are the deadlines for reapplying to a failed module?

Unisa doesn’t allow reapplications for failed modules during the same semester.

You’ll need to wait for the next registration period for your specific qualification.

Be sure to check the academic calendar on the Unisa website for upcoming registration deadlines.

Do I need to pay to reapply for a failed module?

Yes, you will need to pay the prescribed module fee again when you reapply.

Unisa doesn’t offer any discounts for retaking modules.

Can I rewrite the exam for a failed module without reapplying?

No, you cannot simply rewrite the exam for a failed module.

You’ll need to go through the full registration process again, which includes paying the module fee.

What if I only failed the exam component of the module?

If you achieved a semester mark of 50% or above but ultimately failed the module due to the exam component, you may be eligible for a second opportunity exam. 

This will depend on the specific module and its assessment criteria. 

Consult your study guide or contact the relevant department at Unisa for more information.

How many times can I reapply for a failed module?

There’s no official limit on the number of times you can reapply for a failed module.

However, Unisa’s academic progression rules may come into play after a certain number of failed attempts within a particular qualification. 

These rules are in place to ensure students make satisfactory progress in their studies. 

You can find the details of the academic progression rules in the Unisa brochure for students.
