The University of South Africa is a distance teaching institution that
has been in existance from 1946. It has 120 000 students none of which
are campus based - all tuition is through correspondence. Although the
university teaches through correspondence, it still has a fixed academic
year of twelve months, January through December.

The huge number of students and the projected growth of our student
population necessitates an urgent investigation of this university model.
UNISA is currently investigating the possibility of an open system of
registration where the student registers at any time according to his/her
particular circumstances and sit for an examination when ready. There are
other universities that operate according to similar tuition systems.
Information pertaining to such institutions (Location, Contact Person,
Fax number, etc.) is urgently required.

Can you help? Please reply by E-mail to koningj@risc1.unisa.ac.za.
