The University of South Africa (Unisa) regularly reviews and updates its curriculum to ensure it is in line with current industry standards and academic best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sometimes involves phasing out older modules in favor of newer, more relevant ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between phasing out and discontinuing a module?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phasing out a module means that Unisa will gradually stop offering it to new students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existing students enrolled in the phased-out module will still be able to complete it and earn credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discontinuation, on the other hand, means the module is permanently removed from the curriculum, and no students can register for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I find out if my current module is being phased out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unisa provides clear communication regarding phased-out modules. Here are some ways to stay informed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Unisa Website: The university website regularly updates information on transitional arrangements, including phased-out modules. You can find this information on the specific college or department webpage of your qualification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. MyUnisa Portal: Registered Unisa students can access information about phased-out modules through the MyUnisa portal. Look for announcements or notifications from your college or department.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Contact your College or Department: The college or department offering your qualification is the best source for definitive information about phased-out modules. You can find contact details on the Unisa website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What if a required module for my qualification is being phased out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Unisa implements a phased-out approach to ensure a smooth transition for students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Students already registered for the phased-out module will be allowed to complete it and receive credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unisa typically provides a timeframe for completing the module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    New students enrolling in the program<\/a> after the phase-out date will be required to take the replacement module. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unisa will outline the new module’s content and its relation to the phased-out one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Will my credits from a phased-out module still count?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, credits earned from a completed phased-out module will still count towards your qualification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unisa ensures that the replacement module covers similar learning outcomes, and previously earned credits remain valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Are there any resources available to help me transition to a new module?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Unisa recognizes that transitioning to a new module can be challenging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These are some resources that can help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Module Information: Unisa provides detailed information about new modules, including syllabi, learning materials, and recommended readings. This helps students understand the content and prepare for the course.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Academic Advisors: Unisa advisors can guide students through the transition process, answer questions about the new module, and suggest appropriate resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Online Support: Unisa offers various online support resources, such as discussion forums and online learning communities, where students can connect with peers and instructors for assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Where can I find more about Unisa’s transitional arrangements?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Unisa provides detailed information on its transitional arrangements, including phased-out modules, on the official university website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Look for the “Transitional arrangements<\/a>” section on the relevant college or department page for your program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Contacting your college or department directly is also recommended if you want to get the most up-to-date information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
