As part of its tools, UNISA has made a very resourceful tool, which is the UNISA student card.

This UNISA student card was implemented as part of the long-term plan of the school to make it simple for students to get closer to the administrative process. For example, accessing the library, other resource centres, NSFAS funding, and many more

The University of South Africa realized there would be a need for student cards, and this made it possible to open the doors of academic resources and make it possible for every student to have access.

In this blog post, we will give you precise information on how UNISA provides student cards, the cost involved, the process of getting a student card, and many more.

Indeed, UNISA provides all registered students with a UNISA student card. If you are not registered at UNISA, you are not considered a student, and therefore you will never get a student card.

To get your student card, you must put in the effort to apply for it.

Applying for the student card through the right process will facilitate the administration’s ability to verify your details and print your student card for you.

UNISA student cards are dispatched through courier services within South Africa. Also, once you receive your first starter pack as a student at UNISA, your student card is added to it.

How much is a student card at Unisa?

The cost of getting a student card forms part of the application payment. The student card itself is not sold to students, but the application you put in place is what costs you money.

The application fee does not cover the actual cost of the card; it only facilitates its processing and documentation.

If someone is charging to get you a student card at UNISA, just know that it is a scam. Aside from the application fee to process your online application, there is no amount involved in getting a student card at the University of South Africa.

How do I get my Unisa student number for the first time?

Are you concerned about how to get your student number? Is this your first enrollment with UNISa and you’re wondering how to get your student number? Well, the process is simple.

To get your UNISA student number, you must have applied for admission at UNISA. You are only eligible to apply if you do not have a formal UNISA student number.

First-time students who wish to get their student number must ensure they upload all the documents required by UNISA. These documents are assessed and evaluated during this admissions process. And as such, these details are used to prepare your UNISA student number for the first time.

If you have forgotten your student number and wish to apply, there is a way to retrieve it.

Having your UNISA student number is very important, as this gives you the chance to register for your courses and have access to the online platform.
