If you have never heard about the conditional exemption that happens at UNISA, in this blog post, we will talk to you about it.

UNISA’s policy on conditional exemption can be very dicey, as there is little explanatory information on how it works.

 In this aspect of applying for conditional exemption at the University of South Africa, it is important to understand what it means, how it works, and some of the hidden details that can be useful to you as a prospective student of UNISA.

Before we look at how to apply for conditional exemption at UNISA, let us briefly explain what conditional exemption at UNISA is.

A conditional exemption at UNISA simply defines the state in which a student cannot meet all the requirements and admission standards of UNISA but, for some reason, is accepted at UNISA.

As we continue to explicate the term “conditional exemption,” relating it to the University of South Africa, we will share how conditional exemption works at UNISA, how to apply for conditional exemption and many more.

What is conditional exemption at Unisa?

At UNISA, the state in which a student cannot achieve all of the necessary prerequisites and admission standards but is accepted at UNISA for some reason is referred to as a “conditional exemption.” This is a relatively straightforward definition.

When a student is conditionally accepted into a program, it means that they have been accepted, but they need to meet certain conditions or standards before continuing with the program.

Depending on the program, the standards for conditional exemptions can be different. But they generally involve finishing certain classes, getting certain grades, or passing certain tests. When the conditions are met, the student’s exemption status will be taken away, and they can return to school to proceed with their studies without any hindrance.

Students who may find themselves in this situation can take advantage of UNISA’s conditional exemption to apply for a program.

 However, prospective applicants are to note that although you can be accepted into the university without going through the standard process, you may be required to undergo some extensive interviewing in order to be considered.

Your application for conditional exemption at UNISA does not guarantee acceptance into the University of South Africa.

Applicants must note that UNISA has different requirements for the program they may select during their conditional exemption application.

Here are the simple steps on how to apply for conditional exemption at UNISA:

It is important to note that the conditional exemption application at UNISA takes time due to its diversified way of accepting students. Applicants are encouraged to exercise patience until feedback reaches them.

How does conditional exemption work?

This conditional exemption policy at UNISA permits students who do not meet the admission requirements to enrol in specific courses. 

To be eligible for the program, students are required to fulfil certain criteria. This includes obtaining a particular grade in a specific subject or successfully completing a bridging course. 

The policy aims to give students who may have faced challenges at their senior high school level and wish to further their education at the tertiary level.

It is important to note that a conditional exemption does not guarantee admission to UNISA. However, it can be a helpful process for students who may not have been able to pursue higher education otherwise.

How long does it take to get an exemption certificate?

If you plan to apply for an exemption certificate, it is essential to note that the process can take some time. 

You can expect to receive your certificate around 6 weeks after submitting all the necessary documents and payment. It should be the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that all their documents are correctly certified and relevant to make the screening process at UNISA easier and faster.
