As the 2022 academic year gets underway, amny students are scrambling to ensure their place at a tertiary institution.
The University of South Africa (Unisa) has cautioned its students to only believe messages from official university channels of communications. This includes emails from the university and its official social media accounts.
The communique comes after a false message was seen doing the rounds on social media. The message promised admission at the university for higher certificate students.
The message has a false email address and could result in students sharing their personal information with individuals who may use it for other purposes.
Unisa said, "Fake messages are being circulated promising automatic admission for higher certificates students who completed higher certificates. Please treat those messages as fake news. Only use Unisa official communication platforms for Unisa official announcements".
Registration at Unisa for the 2022 academic year opened on January 4, 2022 and will close on 24 January 2022
