Unisa registration deadline extended to end of Jan
Students threatened to shut down the institution earlier this month with students calling for better funding and allowances.
JOHANNESBURG - The University of South Africa (Unisa) has extended the registration deadline to the 31 January.
The announcement was made yesterday with the university saying the 25,000 students that were accepted needed to be registered.
The acceptance of 25,000 new students is part of an agreement reached with the national student representative council earlier this month when students threatened a national shutdown.
