At the University of South Africa, the way numbers and phrases are presented is extremely important for promoting clear communication and supporting academic success. Numbers play a crucial role in scientific research and quantitative analysis. They are typically represented using mathematical symbols and serve as the foundation for drawing meaningful conclusions from data. This allows students and researchers to make informed interpretations and deductions. In addition, phrases and the way we express ourselves linguistically are extremely important when it comes to effectively communicating complex ideas and arguments in essays, dissertations, and research papers.

UNISA understands the significance of providing its students with the necessary skills to effectively handle both numerical and linguistic representations. At this institution, there is a strong focus on developing students’ mathematical literacy and language proficiency. The goal is to ensure that graduates are not only academically skilled but also capable of effectively expressing their ideas with accuracy and clarity. 

At the end of reading this blog post, you should be able to know more about the UNISA reference number, how to get your reference number, check your payment status and submit proof of payment to UNISA.

What is Unisa reference number?

As part of its administrative system, UNISA provides each student with a unique identification code called the UNISA reference number.

 The reference number plays a vital role in helping with different administrative tasks and ensuring effective communication between the university and its students. 

Reference numbers are extremely important in a wide range of financial transactions and registration processes. We generate these unique identifiers internally to make sure that the processing goes smoothly and accurately. Reference numbers play a crucial role in simplifying operations and offering a convenient method to monitor and handle transactions. Whether it involves making payments or completing registrations, reference numbers aid in streamlining processes and ensuring efficient management.

The main reason for having a payment reference is to show where the payment came from. Including this information allows both the sender and the recipient to easily identify the party responsible for the transaction. This feature is especially helpful in situations where multiple payments are being processed at the same time. It prevents any confusion and ensures that funds are allocated accurately. 

How to get reference number at Unisa

Reference numbers are generated internally at the University of South Africa. To get a reference number, you need a student number. This is part of the first resources you need to generate a reference number.

Once you have the student number, the first 8 digits of the student number become your first reference number, plus the purpose of the payment.

So, for example, If you make any payment to Unisa, use the first 8 digits of the student number, give a space and then the allocation as your reference number.

How do I know if Unisa received my payment?

It can be difficult to know if UNISA has received your payment or not. However, the first step to ensuring your payment gets to UNISA is by using your student number, followed by the allocation when you make any payment. This will make it easier for UNISA to receive and track all payments.
Also, you can email UNISA using your student number and the proof of payment to this email – susdepid@unisa.ac.za.

How to submit proof of payment for the application fee at Unisa?

It is always important for students to keep their receipts or proof of payment during the UNISA application. Once you pay your application fee for UNISA admission, you need to submit your receipt as a reference point. 

To submit proof of payment for the application fee at UNISA, send the student number you obtained from UNISA and the application fee number to this email susdepid@unisa.ac.za.

When sending the email, attach a copy of your receipt and student number for further verification.
