, 1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
Unisa is a comprehensive open distance e-learning (CODeL) higher education institution.
The comprehensiveness of our curricula encapsulates a range of offerings, from strictly
vocational to strictly academic certificates, diplomas and degrees. Unisa's "openness" and
its distance eLearning character result in many students registering at Unisa who may not
have had an opportunity to enrol in higher education. Our CODeL character implies that our
programmes are carefully planned and structured to ensure success for students ranging
from the under-prepared but with potential, to the sufficiently prepared.
Teaching and learning in a CODeL context involves multiple modes of delivery including
blended learning and fully online. As a default position, all postgraduate programmes are
offered fully online with no printed study materials, while undergraduate programmes are
offered in a blended mode of delivery where printed study materials are augmented with
online teaching and learning via the learner management system – myUnisa. In some
instances, undergraduate programmes are offered fully online as well.
Furthermore, our programmes are aligned with the vision, mission and values of the
University, that is, to serve humanity and shape futures, combined with a clear appreciation
of our location on the African continent. Unisa's graduates have distinctive graduate qualities
which include:
• independent, resilient, responsible, and caring citizens who are able to fulfil and serve
in multiple roles in their immediate and future local, national and global communities
• having a critical understanding of their location on the African continent with its
histories, challenges, and potential in relation to globally diverse contexts
• the ability to critically analyse and evaluate the credibility and usefulness of information
and data from multiple sources in a globalised world with its ever-increasing
information and data flows and competing worldviews
• the ability to apply their discipline-specific knowledges competently, ethically and
creatively to solve real-life problems
• an awareness of their own learning and developmental needs and future potential
