While you prepare for your completion at UNISA, it is important to know how to get confirmation of practical completion, get your certificate and check your completion status.
How to get confirmation of practical completion at UniSA
Once the examination results are released, Unisa’s final-year students go through a qualification verification process, which is overseen by the Directorate: Student Admissions and Registrations. This is done to ensure that they successfully complete their qualification.
Once the confirmation is received, the qualification status changes from “Final year” to “Completed” by the Division of Graduations. Once the results are published, the audit is promptly concluded.
Students should expect to receive an official confirmation of their qualification from the university. This confirmation will be sent to their myLife e-mail account. At first, their status will be shown as provisionally completed and is normally denoted with these two letters “PC”
The status will only be updated to “CO” (completed) along with a graduation date if the individual is scheduled to participate in a graduation ceremony during the upcoming graduation series. Students will soon be receiving a new statement and all the necessary information regarding the upcoming graduation via their myLife e-mail account.
