I went to look at their curriculum and fees and their website and programs are so hard to make sense of. You pay by module and the module consists of 12 credits to take to complete the module.

For an example the calculated UNISA fees for COS3711 Advanced Programming (Part of the Math & Comp Science program), when you include the 'Foreign Country Levy' is total 4110rand, which is $300usd. There's prob other smaller fees, like exam fees.

UNISA accreditation, seems they let their DETC (US National) accreditation lapse in 2004 but they're still accredited under commonwealth/UN IHU https://iaci-canada.com/accreditation which they claim qualifies as recognized by the US Dept. of Education though I have no idea how accreditation in the US works, so I would look into this more.

It’s actually simpler because the modules each grant you a number of credits, that’s it. Passing means you get the credits.

Yeah the main website sucks but they use Moodle to manage courses and it’s okay.
