1. 2019 was the last year that new
students could enrol for National
Diplomas and BTech qualifications.
2. These registered undergraduate
Engineering students are required
to finish their studies according
to a “teach-out” plan, in line with
Unisa’s rules. This plan stipulates
the following:
A. National Diplomas
• Students have to complete
all National Diploma
qualifications within five years.
This means that they must
complete the qualifications
no later than 2023, when the
oering ends.
• The students who do not
manage to obtain the
National Diploma in this time
frame will be transferred
to an equivalent National
Qualification Framework
(NQF)-level qualification
after 2023. Unisa’s credit
exemption rules will apply to
such transfers.
• In 2022, no new
students will be allowed
to register for the phased
out qualifications.
B. BTech Qualifications
• Students have to complete
all BTech qualifications within
three years. This means that
they must complete the
qualifications no later than
2021, when the oering ends.
• The students who do not
manage to obtain their
BTech degree in this time
frame will be transferred
to an equivalent National
Qualification Framework
(NQF)-level qualification
after 2021. Unisa’s credit
exemption rules will apply to
such transfers.
• In 2022, no new
students will be allowed
to register for the phased
out qualifications.
3. The introduction of the new
HEQSF aligned qualifications will
enable engineering students to
further their studies up to doctoral
and post-doctoral levels, nationally
or internationally.
THE “TEACH-OUT” PROCESS (FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS ONLY)
SHORT LEARNING PROGRAMMES (SLPS)
The purpose of the SLPs is to enhance learning opportunities in the non-formal curriculum, thereby enhancing people’s
competencies, without them having to enrol for comprehensive degree qualifications.
NB: It is important to note that Short Learning Programmes are by nature curtailed/concise. They are not formal
qualifications. No application fee is required when applying for a Short Learning Programme.
