The institution uses a number of online tools for its teaching and learning process, making it important for these tools to function satisfactorily.

The university has made an announcement regarding some of its online tools used by approximately 40 000 students.

In a statement, Unisa confirmed:

Maintenance activities are performed daily on the myExams platform between 04:00 am, and 05:00 am. Routine maintenance takes place between 03:00 am and 05:00 am on the myModules.

The maintenance may be taking place in the early hours of the morning, but some students might try to access these tools to use them.

It is for this reason that the university has thanked its students for their patience and understanding during this period.

According to Unisa, ongoing and routine maintenance needs to be performed to keep systems performing without fault.
