Step-by-step instructions for submitting online assignments via myUnisa
SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS VIA MYUNISA
- 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 is retained). Please 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 the myUnisa homepage under “Electronic resources”.
- Navigate to the assignments tool on myUnisa 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 “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 an assignment.
DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE CLOSING DATE TO SUBMIT YOUR ASSIGNMENT
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 your assignment.
Any documents/assignments uploaded to myUnisa must be virus free. If you repeatedly submit documents with viruses, you may lose the right to use myUnisa.
Assignments of modules offered fully online must be submitted online. Hard copy assignments submitted for online modules will be returned to the student unmarked.
