My.Unisa.Ac.Za Exam Timetable

Examination dates and timetables

A student’s study units for each academic period must be selected in such a manner that the examination dates do not clash – NO CLASHES WILL BE PERMITTED.

Examination dates are subject to change by the University. Dates cannot be changed at the request of students.

The examination timetable is available via the examination timetable tool.

The final examination timetable will be send to students prior to the applicable examination by post and will contain the following information:

• A list of the study units in which students qualify for admission to write examinations.
• A list of study units (if any) in which students do NOT qualify for the examination.
• Particulars of date(s) and time(s) of examination(s).
• Particulars of the examination centre, address and details of the invigilator.
• General instructions in respect of examinations.

The examination timetable must be read VERY CAREFULLY. On no account will misreading of examination dates or times be considered as a reason for granting admission to a supplementary examination.

The examination instructions appear on the other side of the timetable. Contravention of these instructions could result in the application of the Disciplinary Code for Students.
