Second Chance Programme Registration 2022

The University of South Africa (UNISA) offers a Second Chance Programme for second-year students who were not promoted to the third year of their undergraduate studies. Students who were not promoted to the third year because of academic failures, or if they have been referred due to academic failures in the first year, are considered first-year students.

The Second Chance Programme is intended for second-year students who were not promoted to the third year of their undergraduate studies. If a student was not promoted to the third year because of academic failures, or if he/she has been referred due to academic failures in the first year, this student is considered a first-year student who must apply for admission through UNISA’s Undergraduate Admissions Office (UGAO).

The UGAO will assess applications for admission on merit and offer places accordingly. Applicants may be required to provide additional information about themselves as part of their application forms when applying through this route.

Second Chance Programme Registration 2022

If you were not promoted to the third year of your undergraduate programme, you may be able to register for a course at a higher level. This programme is intended for second-year students who were not promoted to the third year of their undergraduate studies.

Who can register?

To be eligible to apply, you must:

• Be a student of the University of Cape Coast Campus. This means that you have been admitted into one of the academic programmes offered by this university. You cannot register if you are not a student-at-large or an affiliate.
• Not have been promoted to the third year of your undergraduate studies at UCC. If you’re still in your first or second years and haven’t been promoted yet, then this programme is for you!
• Have been referred due to academic failures in the first year (FY). Those who were referred due to academic failures in their second year (SY) will also be considered for registration on merit based on their performance during SIS activities/interventions by Vice Chancellor and Director Student Affairs Office respectively .

If you are a second-year student who was not promoted to the third year of your undergraduate studies, the Second Chance Programme is intended for you. As long as you meet all other entry requirements for the programme, including passing at least two modules in your first year with an average of 50%, or one module with an average of 50% and an additional pass mark on a subsequent module in your first year, we welcome applications from candidates who failed their first year but who did not wish to repeat it.

If a student was not promoted to the third year because of academic failures, or if he/she has been referred due to academic failures in the first year, the student is considered a first-year student.
