1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
As part of this tutorial letter, we wish to inform you that Unisa has implemented a transformation
charter based on five pillars and eight dimensions. In response to this charter, we have also
placed curriculum transformation high on the agenda. For your information, curriculum
transformation includes the following pillars: student-centred scholarship, the pedagogical
renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and the
infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. These pillars and their principles will be
integrated at both the programme and module levels, as a phased-in approach. You will notice
the implementation in your modules and we encourage you to fully embrace these changes during
your studies at Unisa.
Welcome to Administrative law (ADL2601). As a student at a distance learning institution it is
important that you interact with your lecturers and fellow students. You can, therefore expect
that we will make contact with you on myUnisa, which will provide you with all the information
you require for your studies. We will also provide guidance to you with regard to the study
material and feedback on your performance (e.g. in the assignments). You must take responsibility
for your studies, which includes accessing the necessary study material on myUnisa, studying
the prescribed study material, and completing and submitting your assignments before or on
the due dates. We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
Remember, as this is a blended module, you also need to use myUnisa to study and you need
to visit the websites on myUnisa for ADL2601 frequently. The website for your module is ADL2601-
21-S1 (for semester 01) or ADL2601-21-S2 (for semester 02).
Because this is a blended module, you need to go online to read your study material and to see
what you have to do for this module. Go to the following website: https://my.unisa.ac.za and login
with your student number and password. You will see “Administrative Law ADL2601-21-S1”
if you are registered for the first semester (or ADL2601-21-S2 if you are registered for the second
semester) in the row of modules in the orange blocks across the top of the web page. Remember
