Dear Student
ASSESSMENT CHANGES for 2021 ACADEMIC YEAR
Due to the ministerial request to extend the 2021 registration dates, Unisa had to amend both
the semester dates and the assessment arrangements for the 2021 academic year.
During 2021 we will have only one semester and only one tuition and assessment period.
The purpose of this TL001 is to inform you of the new assessment requirements for module
SOC3701 for students registered during 2021 for the one semester period. All students are
required to activate myUnisa student life account for communication purposes during the
academic year.

reading called scanning as a means of familiarising yourself with the scope of the
study material, the focus themes of the module, and key terms and concepts in the
different study units.
