Of all the reviews issued to date, there still has been no effort to improve the service. Employees at Unisa will only realise the importance of Service Delivery when they are being issued with notice of retrenchment due to lack of students registering. When the retrenchment starts you the staff of UNISA will be completely to blame for you own lazy arrogant behaviour. Yes we do pay your salaries with our student fees. and yes your entire staff from begining to the Chamcelor offer no service. i can mentions names but it would be useless. like speaking to a stone. how i regret starting my studies with Unisa.

  • sabeeha kazi

Unisa is an incompetent campus. They never answer phones, their website never seems to be working, when you go to the campus, students are always striking or their systems are down. The guards are unhelpful / rude / arrogant and they think they own the place. I am a registered student of unisa but was refused entry even though I had a student card. I do not recommend anyone studying at this institution as your studies will constantly be in jeopardy. RUN FROM THIS INSTITUTION!!!!!

  • Pasquale Cammarano

The Durban campus is extremely difficult to navigate as there is no order when it comes to queues especially during registration periods. Staff seem to have a reluctance towards hearing students queries and questions. Obtaining access from the car park is also difficult as the turnstiles are often blocked because of queues stretching out side the building and down the main road.

  • Daniel Malebye

I've never been so ashamed ever in my life.... The security here talked to me as if I'm trash. One of them didn't even feel like responding to me when I asked her where is the applications offices. I wouldn't recommend anyone to come here.... I'd rather go to Unisa Sunnyside campus. I didn't even get helped so I guess I wasted my patrol coming here.

  • Saahil Pramraj

Honestly, staff are arrogant. Esp during registrations and enquiries. Peeps working there are fed up I scheme lol...they move you around the whole day and sometimes no resolve to your issues. Too less people and work ethic is poor. Esp to cater for so many students. If online systems were better. We would be hassle free

  • Zaheer Satharia

Take very long to serve and understand the needs of student enquiries. Waiting period to speak to the right channel is frustrating... can take a whole day or even a week. They never ever answer the telephone when you call. Depending on staff moods they will tell you come tomorrow and have bad attitudes.

  • Hunter-Robert Schmidt

Excellent establishment to get educated in higher learning. Very well run and staff are friendly. Very clean. Remember Google is the best thing since Bread Bread came sliced. Phrase coined by Hunter Schmidt Auxilliary Plumbers. …

This is definitely an institution with very few competent administrators. The first time I was doing my application they registered me for the wrong modules and insufficient modules and the examination department has not responded to an

"Please be patient the system is on and off"... Nothing new there. Followed by "Um, bad news. Your certificate is in Pretoria not here like the SMS you got says" after driving 2 hours to get there and then spending another hour waiting

  • meshach singh

Very poor system where even registered students must follow a line the whole day to just get student advisory help . Must go to line at 6am and finish at 3pm . Ridiculous. The chancellor needs to wake up

  • Menzi Juniour

One of the best university in South Africa i love it simply because it's best quality education with various study field and also it's very affordable... This year am planning to enroll at Unisa...

  • Cassandra Durow

Unisa looks very run down. I was shocked to see it after about 2 years since I've last been there. All around the parking area and outside makes it look like an abandoned building. It's very sad

  • Yuvir Ramjit

Terrible Service, spent half the day there for nothing, eventually had to leave due to no one helping, just a chaotic environment with the EFF and ANC making noise but no solutions

  • Dominique Bartholomew-Buck

A building left behind in time. Urgently in need of a revamp. Over-crowded and filled with staff who are overwhelmed with the shear volume of human beings wanting to study there.
