Unisa student refunds process and days it takes to reflect

A question that's close to the hearts of many UNISA students!

The refund process for UNISA students can be a bit lengthy, but I'll break it down for you. Please note that the processing time may vary depending on the specific circumstances.

Refund Process:

1. Application for Refund: Students who wish to apply for a refund must submit a written application to the UNISA Student Service Centre (SSC) or the relevant faculty office.
2. Verification: The SSC or faculty office will verify the student's eligibility for a refund, including checking their academic record, payment history, and any outstanding fees.
3. Refund Calculation: If the student is eligible for a refund, the SSC or faculty office will calculate the amount due to the student.
4. Refund Payment: The refund will be paid to the student via electronic funds transfer (EFT) or a cheque, depending on the student's preference.

Processing Time:

The processing time for UNISA student refunds can vary, but here are some general guidelines:

• Initial Processing: 2-4 weeks: This is the time it takes for the SSC or faculty office to process the refund application and verify the student's eligibility.
• Refund Payment: 2-6 weeks: After the refund has been processed, it may take another 2-6 weeks for the refund to be paid to the student.

Total Processing Time: 4-10 weeks

Please note that these times are estimates, and the actual processing time may be longer or shorter depending on the specific circumstances.

Tips:

• Apply for a refund as soon as possible to minimize the processing time.
• Ensure that your contact details are up-to-date with UNISA to receive any communication regarding your refund.
