About Us
Helping South African students navigate their UNISA journey — for free.
Who We Are
CheckUNISAStatus.co.za is an independent, free informational website dedicated to helping current and prospective University of South Africa (UNISA) students. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the University of South Africa in any way.
We are a small team of South Africans who understand the challenges of distance learning and navigating UNISA’s systems. We built this website because we know how confusing the application, registration, and status-checking process can be — especially for first-time applicants.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to make the UNISA student journey less confusing. We do this by providing:
- Clear, step-by-step guides to accessing official UNISA portals safely
- Free calculators for APS scores, tuition fees, and study load planning
- Comprehensive articles covering every aspect of the UNISA student experience
- Up-to-date information on key dates, deadlines, and processes
- Warnings about fake websites and scams targeting UNISA students
