It’s Time for Unisa Graduates to Collect Their Certificates, and Here Is When and How You Can Do That
Unisa has proactively informed students eligible for certificate collection in light of the forthcoming graduation ceremonies. It’s important to note that students who will be graduating but cannot attend the ceremonies will not collect their certificates during the event. However, they will be informed about the collection process subsequently.
September/October 2023 Certificate Collection Process
For students set to receive their qualifications in September/October 2023, Unisa has devised a systematic collection procedure:
- Certificates will be distributed during the graduation ceremonies and on specific dates communicated through SMS.
- Unisa’s graduation website hosts a link enabling students to select their preferred collection date and location, ensuring a smooth scheduling experience.
- Students are advised to accurately select their collection date and venue to avoid complications. If a student misses their scheduled collection, the certificate will be returned to Pretoria for safekeeping.
Documents Required for Collection
To maintain the integrity of the collection process, students must present:
- A valid ID, passport, or driver’s licence.
Proxy Collection Provisions
For students unable to personally collect their certificates, Unisa allows for proxy collection with the following prerequisites:
- A consent letter penned and signed by the student, detailing contact information and the ID number (for RSA students) or passport number (for international students) of the proxy.
- Certified copies of identification (ID/passport/licence) for both the student and the proxy.
Scheduled Collection Dates Across Campuses
Unisa has set specific collection dates across its various campuses to cater to students’ convenience:
- Pretoria Muckleneuk Campus: Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 15:00
- Mbombela, Bloemfontein, & Polokwane: 08 and 09 September, 08:00 to 15:00
- Cape Town, Durban, & East London: 15 and 16 September, 08:00 to 15:00
Students are encouraged to adhere to these schedules and ensure they have all the necessary documents for a seamless collection experience.
