TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Re: Timetable applicable to the second Semester of the Academic Year 2023

The purpose of this letter is to notify employers of students registered at Unisa about the
timetable of modules offered in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. This is to ensure
that employers accommodate their employees who are our students when they apply for
time off to write their major tests as part of their studies.

As per the timetable in Appendix A, students registered for qualifications in the Department
of Mechanical Engineering are expected to write two invigilated major tests (i.e., Major Test
1 and Major Test 2) and a re-test as a third major test or Major Test 3. These tests are
compulsory, and each is written at a specified date and time.

We therefore view these major tests as being equivalent to examinations, and we

recommend that employers provide study leave for students to write them. Our students will
provide the assessment timetable in Appendix A as evidence for the dates and times of the
major tests.

Students may still write ordinary Unisa examinations for service modules from other
departments. In these cases, they will provide examination timetables as evidence, as was
done in the past.

For any queries, please contact the Secretary at the contacts given above.

Yours sincerely
