UNISA Application Fee For 2026

The University of South Africa (UNISA) requires an application fee to cover the administrative costs associated with processing online applications. This fee is applicable to all applicants and must be paid before an application will be considered. Information about the application fee and its payment methods is usually made available in September of the year prior to the academic year for which the application is being made.

For the 2026 academic year, UNISA has released the application fee in September, as is customary. The fee details are now accessible online to prospective students, including first-time applicants. This timely release ensures that applicants are aware of the fee and can complete their applications accordingly.

This means that even if your application is rejected or you decide not to study at Unisa, the application fee will not be returned. It is important to be aware of this policy before submitting your application and paying the fee.

Application fees are used to cover the administrative costs associated with processing applications.
