Various schools and programmes

Registration

Distance students, like their full time and part time counterparts, are required to register for their courses and exams every semester. Upon registration ensure that the university calendar is collected or downloaded from the university website. The calendar has the dates for all university academic activities including dates and the deadlines for the two assignments, residential classes and examinations.

Online registration

The university has recently introduced online registration where you do not need to travel to the campus in Lusaka in order to register. This is applicable to new, first year and returning students.

The academic process

Distance students should ensure they get their academic material from the library (usually in soft copy) and from their respective portals. Student portals are accessed through the university website (www.unilus.ac.zm). Students are required to attend a two week residential classes session where you have full contact with your lecturers and immediately after the residential classes session ends you are required to write examinations in your registered courses. You will be notified well in advance as to the dates of the residential classes' session. Before this you are free to consult your lecturers on your challenges in your study material by phone and by e-mail (with e-mail being more recommended). If you are in employment ensure that you have adequate leave days to attend both the residential classes and the examination – a total of 20 leave days.

Accessing material and assignment

All learning material are posted onto the student portal by the lecturer; this student account is created for the student upon registration. Reading material for all the courses and the assignments are uploaded by the lecturers and directly accessible by all registered students. To access these login into your student portal with your credentials.

Assessment

As a distance learning student at UNILUS, you are required to do two assignments and one test in a semester for your continuous assessment. The exams are weighted 60 marks which are then added to your continuous assessment mark for a total score out of a 100 marks. The pass mark is 50 marks. The academic assessment for distance students is as follows: 40% for the continuous assessment comprising of two assignments each carrying 10 marks and one test which carries 20 marks, conducted during residential classes.

Submission of assignments

Ensure you submit your assignments on or before the scheduled deadlines. Failure to submit within the specified time will attract a penalty as your lecturers may deem fit and this does not rule out rejection of late assignments. Ensure you send a soft copy and a hard copy to your lecturers before the deadline. The hard copy which should have information about your contact details and the course you are submitting should be addressed to your lecturer or the distance learning department.
