1 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.
Level 1
You 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 2
This 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 3
This 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.

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

2 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.
17 I know how to make notes from study guides, textbooks (and tutors if I attend
tutorial classes).
18 I read a lot (fiction and non-fiction).
My situation Tick
Tick those statements that are relevant to you.
6 I have more than one job. I work during the day and at nights/over weekends.
10 I am battling financially and do not know how I will buy prescribed textbooks.
Now count the number of ticks in the situation profile. Each of these situation profiles could
potentially affect your success at Unisa. 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; vospresc@unisa.ac.za).
You may also contact NSFAS via Unisa’s Financial Aid Bureau (dsf@unisa.ac.za) or EduLoan
(www.eduloan.co.za) for possible financial assistance.
3 Do I qualify to study through Unisa?

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.
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.
1 My career vision
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.
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.
This is my goal: I want to achieve it (when)... How will I achieve this goal?
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.
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
Think about...
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:
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.
✔ What? How?
School subjects
Friends
Family
Knowing myself
Money
Observing others
at work
Economic/job trends
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).
The following is a list of interests. Please choose the one (or at most three) that you are
most interested in working with and then go to the page number given below. Go through the
list of qualifications that are related to this field and mark the ones that you want to find
