If so, don’t worry; this article is here to guide you through the process of paying your University of South Africa (Unisa) application fee and provide you with additional helpful information.
What is the Unisa application fee for 2024?
To apply to Unisa, you must pay an R125 application fee online, which is non-refundable under any circumstances. First-time applicants to Unisa are the only ones who have to pay the application fee. If you have already paid an application fee to Unisa, you do not need to make a second payment.
Unisa has provided several payment options to cater to your needs. You can make a cash deposit at any First National Bank (FNB) or ABSA Bank branch in South Africa, but Unisa offices will not accept payments in cash or by check. Debit and credit cards, including Visa and Mastercard, are accepted for payment or registration in person at Unisa in Sunnyside, Florida, or any regional offices.

Make sure to fill out the deposit slip correctly, including the deposit reference, which consists of the first eight blocks for the student number and the code 5370810030 for the application fee. Inaccurate or incomplete data on the bank deposit slip will delay the allocation or transfer of funds to your account, and the University of South Africa cannot be held liable for any delays.
South African students can also make electronic funds transfers (ETF) to Unisa via First National Bank (FNB). If you are not banking with FNB, use the account details provided for EFT. Don’t forget to fill out the reference field appropriately when dealing with electronic transfers.
