LICENSEE TRAINING 2010
MAAKE L A
PROBLEM AREAS
•Let us give the best service to students- keep records of
our correspondences about student’s registrations
•To do this we have to understand how we operate –
licensees need to know and understand the Unisa
registration procedures
•Be the best unisa service center as you can – do not give
students incorrect information or wrong advice. E.g
especially when there are no fees in your account
•Remember that you only have students for a semester/
year, and if they are not satisfied with your service, they
will move on to the other Licensee
•
communication
 Inform us about any problems you have with the system
 Do not wait for the last days to voice your concerns – e.g.
the closing date for the applications/ registration
 Talk to us before you spread the fire
 Respond to the emails we send to you in time in order to
make amendments on registrations
 Make follow up on registrations not done- do not wait
until it is too late – give students follow up dates
Take note
 Take note that we only touch a query only
once – if the registration is not done due to
outstanding documents – when you send
those documents also inform the registration
office – my office at licensee@unisa.ac.za
 Send student queries separately – not in a list
form
ISSUES DELAYING REGISTRATIONScont..

CERTIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS – what are the accepted certifications?

Co and prerequisites – licensee advisors do not check student’s requested
modules – when you submit the online registration, you get an automated
response, act on that. Do not wait for us to get back to you.

Pre-requisites means that you must have passed that subject and/or
subjects before you can take the selected module.

Co-requisites means that you must take the module indicated as a corequisite with the specific module.

Lack of feedback to students, inform students of the outcome of their
applications – do not call us and say the student is in your office and they
want answers.
