INTRODUCTION AND ACCREDITATION

Welcome to the community of The Centre for Business Management at UNISA. We are delighted
that you have expressed an interest in the PROGRAMME IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

The University of South Africa is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education
and Training Council (DETC) in the United States. The accreditation means that a prestigious
international Accrediting Commission has concluded that UNISA is a quality distance education
institution that sets attainable educational outcomes for its academic programmes, provides materials
and services to enable students to reach those objectives and has the capacity to continue to provide
these services in the future. This accreditation means that UNISAs qualifications are comparable to
those of other institutions in the USA and elsewhere in the world that have been accredited by DETC.

UNISA sought accreditation for a number of reasons including:

desire for national and international benchmarking of the quality of its teaching and services,
an external source of stimulation to improve services, programmes and staff,
benefits to its graduates of having a degree from a university accredited in the US, and
the possibility of attracting US students because of the accreditation.

electives.

DURATION

year programme, the programme can be completed over a longer period. You need to register for
each semester separately.

qualification. Persons not in possession of such a qualification will be considered for admission on the
basis of work experience and other qualifications obtained.

FURTHER STUDY OPPORTUNITIES

Candidates may embark on degree studies at UNISA and obtain exemptions from certain modules
depending on the modules completed on the programme. In addition, candidates may continue with
non-degree programmes in specialised areas of management with the Centre for Business
Management.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION

TEACHING METHOD
Through distance learning, lecturers communicate with students by means of study guides, tutorial
letters, assignments and myUnisa. A week long study school (contact sessions) might be held once
during each semester for students at the main campus in Pretoria or at any of UNISAs regional
centres around South Africa (depending on enrolment). More information about the study school will
be communicated to students during the course of the year.

equivalent modules. Such proof (content and result) of equivalent modules must accompany your

PROGRAMME FEES

Compulsory Modules: AMOUNT

MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES R 1 450-00
BUSINESS ACCOUNTING & FINANCE R 1 450-00
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION R 1 450-00
SELF-MANAGEMENT R 1 450-00
2 Electives:
ELECTIVE ONE R 1 450-00
ELECTIVE TWO R 1 450-00
TOTAL: R 8 700-00

In addition, an amount of approximately R 1 500-00 will have to be set aside for prescribed
textbooks. Please note that the purchase of textbooks is your responsibility. You will be
furnished with details of the bookstores as you need to obtain these books directly from the
suppliers.

Please note that the R 1 450-00 module fee includes the registration fee, materials from UNISA
and the examination.

The full fee per module is payable at registration but exceptions will be considered under special
circumstances. (Register for 3 modules but pay for 2 at registration, balance payable end
February or August.)

Foreign students will have to pay an additional foreign levy and a statement should be requested
from Cbmfinance@unisa.ac.za.

UNISA is moving towards a cashless system and therefore it is preferred that you deposit any fees
directly into UNISAs bank account. However, you will be able to visit UNISA and register on-line.
UNISA will have staff available at the regional offices that will assist you to register on-line.
Unfortunately it will no longer be possible to hand you any study material as it will be couriered to you.

Bank deposit
As soon as we receive your registration documents, we will pre-register and supply you with a student
number through your e-mail address or fax number. After you have received the student number, you
may deposit the money into UNISAs bank account and fax the deposit slip to us. UNISAs bank
details are as follows:

BANK: STANDARD BANK

ACCOUNT NR 096R
ACCOUNT HOLDER Unisa Student deposits
BRANCH CODE 010645

Please take note that the reference column on the deposit slip should be completed as follows:

Credit card

If you pay by credit card, complete the relevant section of the registration form. Fax a copy of your
registration form to us. Upon approval of the credit card payment, we will register and send you the
study material. If I may make a suggestion, avoid paying by credit card and rather approach your
bank with your credit card to transfer the deposit directly into UNISAs bank account after you have
received your student number. This will speed up the process greatly. However, if you register at
one of our regional offices and wish to pay by credit card, then there should be no problem.

SELF HELP: A self help registration desk is available in the Registration Hall at the Sunnyside
campus in Mears Street, Pretoria and at regional offices of Unisa. The registration
opening page will be displayed on the computer screen at a UNISA registration site.
Students must then use their allocated student number to begin the registration
process.

COMPANY
PAYMENTS: Proof of payment and a list of student names and numbers must please be sent to us
by companies who enroll a number of staff members for the programme. This will
enable us to allocate payment to the individual student accounts.

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES

- You may register for any number of modules in any semester as long as you complete the 4
compulsory modules and any two elective modules.

- You can register for all the modules at the beginning of the year but bear in mind that this will,
however, have an impact on the amount payable at registration. If you register for all 6 modules
you will have to pay the full course fee (6 x R1450 = R8700-00) at registration. We thus advise
that you register for the first semester only and re-register for the second semester during June.
All the modules are offered in both semesters and can be done in any order.

- The examinations for the first semester are written in May/June and for the second semester it is
written in October/November.
