UNISA Mylife

UNISA Mylife

With more people enrolling in universities, it is important to have efficient  online systems that can comfortably handle many students. For this reason, many higher education institutions are going away from papers works and creating online designs to increase efficiency. University of South Africa (UNISA) is part of the trend, creating a portal to help students access information. The myLife UNISA account allows students to access exams, newsletters, announcements, assignment marks, and more.

Unisa students are entitled to a free myLife e-mail address for life. Once you are a student, you simply have to activate your login details. Your myLife e-mail account will be used to communicate with Unisa. SMSs and letters will occasionally be sent, but they will not be the primary means of communication. The initial login details that you are given once you are accepted to Unisa will give you access to myUnisa as well as my life. Below, we will be looking at what myUnisa and myLife are as well as how you can activate these accounts and log in.
