Which Modules Is Unisa Phasing Out?
The University of South Africa (Unisa) regularly reviews and updates its curriculum to ensure it is in line with current industry standards and academic best practices.
This sometimes involves phasing out older modules in favor of newer, more relevant ones.
What is the difference between phasing out and discontinuing a module?
Phasing out a module means that Unisa will gradually stop offering it to new students.
Existing students enrolled in the phased-out module will still be able to complete it and earn credit.
Discontinuation, on the other hand, means the module is permanently removed from the curriculum, and no students can register for it.
How can I find out if my current module is being phased out?
Unisa provides clear communication regarding phased-out modules. Here are some ways to stay informed:
- Unisa Website: The university website regularly updates information on transitional arrangements, including phased-out modules. You can find this information on the specific college or department webpage of your qualification.
- MyUnisa Portal: Registered Unisa students can access information about phased-out modules through the MyUnisa portal. Look for announcements or notifications from your college or department.
- Contact your College or Department: The college or department offering your qualification is the best source for definitive information about phased-out modules. You can find contact details on the Unisa website.
What if a required module for my qualification is being phased out?
Unisa implements a phased-out approach to ensure a smooth transition for students.
Students already registered for the phased-out module will be allowed to complete it and receive credit.
Unisa typically provides a timeframe for completing the module.
New students enrolling in the program after the phase-out date will be required to take the replacement module.
Unisa will outline the new module’s content and its relation to the phased-out one.
Will my credits from a phased-out module still count?
Yes, credits earned from a completed phased-out module will still count towards your qualification.
Unisa ensures that the replacement module covers similar learning outcomes, and previously earned credits remain valid.
Are there any resources available to help me transition to a new module?
Unisa recognizes that transitioning to a new module can be challenging.
These are some resources that can help:
- Module Information: Unisa provides detailed information about new modules, including syllabi, learning materials, and recommended readings. This helps students understand the content and prepare for the course.
- Academic Advisors: Unisa advisors can guide students through the transition process, answer questions about the new module, and suggest appropriate resources.
- Online Support: Unisa offers various online support resources, such as discussion forums and online learning communities, where students can connect with peers and instructors for assistance.
Where can I find more about Unisa’s transitional arrangements?
Unisa provides detailed information on its transitional arrangements, including phased-out modules, on the official university website.
Look for the “Transitional arrangements” section on the relevant college or department page for your program.
