6 Preparing your answer file
1. Your answer file must contain ALL the pages you want to submit. Do not
submit your scanned pages one-by-one. Each time you upload a file it
REPLACES the previous submission. Only the last file received by Unisa will
be marked.
2. Do not password-protect your file. A 0 mark will be assigned.
3. The first page should clearly state your name, student number and the
module code. Some modules provide a custom title page. See the
examination question paper for details.
4. Number all the pages in your answer file.
5. Write with a black pen, not a pencil, if hand-writing the submission.
6. Use proper PDF conversion software to create the final file for upload. Free
PDF conversion software is available on the Internet.
7. Add your student number and the module code in the file name. That will
assist you to select the correct document to upload during submission.
