Unisa: What constitutes a half module?

If you think “half module” refers to an incomplete module, you’re partly correct, but that’s not the intended meaning in this context. The term “half module” at institutions like UNISA often refers to the fact that students face unique challenges, such as limited time and resources, compared to full-time students at traditional institutions.

Many UNISA students juggle work, family, and other responsibilities, which can lead them to drop out before completing their studies. “Half module” describes the situation where a student is unable to complete their course due to these difficulties.
