Dear Student

1. ASSESSMENT CHANGES for 2021 ACADEMIC YEAR
Due to the ministerial request to extend the 2021 registration dates, Unisa had to amend both
the semester dates and the assessment arrangements for the 2021 academic year.
During 2021 we will have only one semester and only one tuition and assessment period.
The purpose of this TL001 is to inform you of the new assessment requirements for module
FAC3701 for students registered during 2021 for the one semester period.
