UNISA Registration Fee for 2023
When a student is admitted to the University Of South Africa, he passes through a long procedure of course registration, a merit list, and so on. The last thing you are required to submit to the university is the application payment.
Anyhow the average registration fee for UNISA is about R1 815,00 to R7 550,00 according to the type of course and programme.
Plus, the fee may vary according to your APS score and per semester performance, for instance, if you score high in the first semester, the university will provide you with a scholarship or bursary. Anyhow, the books and stationery expenses are additional. Let’s discuss how you can pay the fee!
All Payment Methods
Debit Card
If you visit the UNISA regional office and fill out the admission form, they will offer to pay the registration fee via your debit card. The payment collecting machines are available in all regional UNISA offices and they accept your registration fee through debit card.

The good news is UNISA accepts credit card payments but for this, the applicant must visit the regional office. Keep in mind that credit card payment collecting machine availability is rare but you can find it in Sunnyside/Florida. You should also know that these are real-time transactions.

Can I Pay Through Cheques?
Basically, institutes like UNISA and other educational departments do not rely on passive payment mediums such as cheques. It is easier to manipulate the institute by giving a cheque for an empty account rather than giving access to the credit card. Second, the institute does not take risks as most cheques are bounced because of the wrong signatures of clients.
