Re: Any UNISA students here?
Is it indeed an error? Or does it mean they have approved the application and now I just have to wait for it to be registered?CapNemo wrote:Just shoot them and get it over with

Thanks Tribs. I'll call their office tomorrow and make sure though. Heaven forbid it's another error on their side...Tribble wrote:I think you just need to wait for them to do something

Re: Any UNISA students here?
Third assignment submitted yesterday. Now it's just the second exam next month and the final one in November. I guess I'd better start thinking about revising and how I shall do it.

Re: Any UNISA students here?
Yesterday I received a letter from UNISA to the effect that I would not be permitted to re-register with UNISA next year on account of poor academic performance, to whit I have "not passed two year modules or 4 semester modules."
It seems that in a fit of overwheening ambition at the end of last year, I signed up to do my single module using the BSc qualification code rather than registering for Non-Degree Purposes as I should have.
Epic fail.
I told me boss that I would try to find out whether it is too late to have it changed from BInsanity to NDP and mailed UNISA about it this afternoon.
/Runs away, too embarrassed to show his face in these parts....

Re: Any UNISA students here?
"Unisa's Contact Centre (UCC) has been closed. This decision, which eliminates telephonic communication with the student, simplifies the way we communicate with students."
Can someone please explain that logic to me![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

It's just end user computing, Tribble. Nothing that would impress the users of this forum.
I have my next exam on 17 August. [ introduction to Word, Excel, importing csv files and mail merge]

Re: Any UNISA students here?
I got 100%. We were given a Word document and had to change formatting, fiddle with headers and footers, styles and tables, insert images, find and correct errors, split a body of text into paragraphs [and vice versa], search and replace and do a little typing. Nothing too hectic. ![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

I guess that you are all entitled to your opinions....however wrong they may be.
Maybe I should send you the assignment questions?
