Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete your online application through the Unisa website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upon successful application submission, you will receive a student number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unisa.ac.za\/sites\/corporate\/default\/Apply-for-admission\/Student-fees-and-funding-your-studies\/Unisa-payment-methods-and-banking-details\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.unisa.ac.za\/sites\/corporate\/default\/Apply-for-admission\/Student-fees-and-funding-your-studies\/Unisa-payment-methods-and-banking-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unisa payment information webpage<\/a> to access banking details and various payment options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay the application fee (R135.00) using your student number and the application fee reference number provided by Unisa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send proof of payment to susdepid@unisa.ac.za. This ensures your application fee is linked to your student number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Your application will only be processed after successful payment of the application fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to pay an application fee if I&#8217;m an international student?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The application process for international students is similar to South African applicants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to pay the application fee unless you are applying through a registered UniSA Agent, depending on your country of citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a deadline to pay the Unisa application fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no separate deadline for paying the application fee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s advisable to pay the fee as soon\u00a0 as you receive your student number to avoid any delays in processing your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I apply to Unisa without paying the application fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, no. The application fee is mandatory for all first-time applicants without a formal Unisa student number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if I lose my application fee reference number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you misplace your application fee reference number, contact the Unisa Student Enquiries Centre for assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can reach them via phone at +27 11 471 2442 or email at study-info@unisa.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I pay the Unisa application fee in person?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Unisa does not accept application fee payments in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All payments must be made electronically using the available online payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What other fees are there besides the application fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your application is successful, you will be liable for tuition fees, module fees, and other administrative fees depending on your chosen program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find a detailed breakdown of Unisa fees on the university&#8217;s <a
