How to use MyUnisa to submit your Unisa assignments online

Are you an enrolled student at the University of South Africa (Unisa) who is having trouble submitting your assignments? Assignments for Unisa can be turned in online through the myUnisa dashboard, in a box designated for that purpose, by mail to the University of South Africa, or by courier.

Assignments at UNISA help you master the material and be ready for exams while also assisting instructors in determining your understanding of the subject.

They are necessary and required, and you cannot take the exam unless you have finished the corresponding tasks.

It is important to always keep a copy of your assignment in case the university does not receive an assignment and you are requested to re-submit a copy.

Watch this video which shows you how to prepare, format, complete & submit Unisa assignments or read the guide below.

How to submit Unisa assignments

Here is a step-by-step instruction for submitting online assignments.

To submit an assignment, use a file format that can be uploaded to myUnisa. These formats are listed in the “ Specify the type of file ” drop-down list on the submission screen.

A pdf file is the preferred option (formatting and layout are retained). Do not submit assignments in write-protected/read-only pdf formats. Use only the Adobe pdf format.

Information on pdf converters can be found on your dashboard under “ Electronic resources ”. Navigate to the assignments tool to start the process.

When you click “ Continue ”, your assignment will be uploaded to the Unisa network.

This may take several minutes depending on the size of your assignment and the speed of your internet connection.

Once the assignment is received, its details will be displayed on your screen for final checking. You can either go back and make corrections or click on the “ Submit assignment ” to submit it.

Ensure that your answers to multiple-choice questions are ready before connecting to the internet. It will cost you money to work out answers while online. Check for mistakes before submitting your Unisa assignment.

Don’t wait until the closing date

Try to submit your assignments at least 3 working days before the due date, as you may experience unforeseen problems (e.g. your internet connection is down) on the day you want to submit my Unisa assignments.

If you repeatedly submit documents with viruses, you may lose the right to use my Unisa student portal.

Notification of the marked assignment (together with a link) will be sent to your myLife e-mail account. Download your marked assignment, so that you have access to it even when you are offline.

Unisa’s Assignment Division does not accept requests to cancel assignments submitted via myUnisa. It is your responsibility to ensure that the content of your assignment is correct before you submit it.

Submitting via assignment boxes

If you live near Pretoria, Midrand, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Polokwane, or Durban and prefer to deliver your completed assignments personally, you may post your assignments in the assignment boxes, preferably two days prior to the assignment due date, at these Unisa campuses.

Do not post envelopes containing money in any of the assignment boxes. The University of South Africa does everything possible to ensure that assignments reach us safely, but the university cannot take responsibility for the loss of assignments as a result of fire or theft.

Assignments posted to the university must be in the envelopes supplied to you when you registered. Except for weekends and public holidays, the assignment boxes are emptied daily by Unisa staff.

The collection time is approximately 07:00.

How to Submit An Assignment to Unisa

All students studying at the University of South Africa (UNISA) are expected to write assignments as part of their coursework. Depending on the module you’re studying, there are different methods you can consider to submit your assignment. Read on to learn how to submit an assignment to UNISA. 

How Do I Submit an Assignment to UNISA

You can upload your assignment via the myUnisa platform. You can do this by launching the myUnisa tool on your platform. Navigate the tool to identify the platform where you can submit your assignment. When you are there, upload and click “Continue”, where the homework is uploaded to the UNISA network. 

Upload the appropriate file format selected from the drop-down list available on the submission screen. A PDF format is the most preferred format since it retains its layout and formatting. Read-only pdf formats are not acceptable. Uploading your assignment can take several minutes, depending on your internet connection’s speed and file size. 

When your assignment is received, you will receive details on your screen to make final checks. The feature allows you to go back and make corrections, then click on “Submit Assignment.” 

If submitting a multiple-choice assignment, ensure your answers are ready before going online. You can work offline and then connect to the internet when ready to avoid wasting money and data, especially if you have no reliable Wi-Fi at home. 

All the documents uploaded via the myUnisa tool must be virus free. If you submit virus-infected documents, your right to use the tool can be withdrawn. Make sure you submit your assignment at least three days before the deadline to avoid unforeseen challenges. 

How Do I Submit an Assignment to My Portal?

You can encounter different types of assignments at UNISA , but the good thing is that you can submit them via the myUnisa tool. Using this tool is fast, simple, and reliable. All you need to do is follow the instructions on your screen. 

When submitting a multiple-choice assignment, ensure you have revised your answers since you cannot request to cancel any work already submitted via this platform. Try to submit your work at least three days before the deadline. 

For a written assignment, make sure you choose a file format that is compatible with the myUnisa tool. On the drop-down list, you will see different file formats under the tab “Specify the type of file.” Not all file formats are acceptable, so make sure you choose the right one. By clicking “Continue,” your assignment will be uploaded to the UNISA network. 

If you think you have made a mistake and want to correct it, try to do so immediately. However, this can only be possible when the resubmit button is visible and the assignment has not yet been marked. Once the deadline is over, you cannot resubmit any corrected assignment. The file you submit must be virus free. 

The following are some of the aspects you should follow when submitting your assignment via the myUnisa portal. 

• Line spacing should match the UNISA printer
• Use simple pictures and diagrams
• Avoid fancy designs
• All assignments should fit the A4 document
• Use common fonts like Arial and Times Roman
• Avoid colour fonts
• Margins must be at least 2.5 cm

Read all the instructions before submitting your assignment. When you submit your assignment, you will get a clear status message. If the assignment is successfully received, you will get a message that reads, “Assignment Received in Good Order.” You will also receive a receipt, a unique number you can use to track the assignment. The myUnisa portal will immediately update the list of your assignments once you submit one.  

What Happens if I Submit My UNISA Assignment Late?

All late assignments are not marked, so you should make sure you submit all your assignments on time. Although assignments might not affect your final exam mark, you should learn to be deadline driven. UNISA is one of the biggest tertiary institutions in Africa, so the lecturers often work under immense pressure. As a result, students who submit their assignments late will not get a reprieve.

What Is the Pass Mark for UNISA Assignments?

UNISA assignments are not compulsory, but students are recommended to attempt and submit all their assignments. Students who submit their exercises have better chances of success because they spend more time doing their work. 

The UNISA regulations state that assignments only contribute a small percentage to the final mark. Assignments only contribute 15% to the final mark because, in some cases, the work might not be completed by the student. Additionally, students also work in groups, so assignments do not constitute original work. The pass mark for the UNISA assignment is 50%.

If you are studying at UNISA , you should fulfil all academic requirements to obtain your preferred qualification. Although not compulsory, assignments contribute a certain percentage to your final grade. Be sure to submit your assignments on time via the appropriate platform.
