Year 2024

Phasing out the provision of study material

23 February 2024

Commencing in 2024, the Unit for Distance Learning is officially phasing out the provision of study material to students enrolled in the distance modality. All first-time students enrolled in programs within the Faculty of Education and Faculty of Humanities will no longer receive study materials previously provided by the Unit for Distance Learning. This transition to non-provisioning of study materials will be phased in gradually, beginning with the first-time students in the distance modality and continuing with subsequent year groups. Henceforth, the NWU will cease providing textbooks or physical and electronic study materials to newly enrolled students in the distance modality from 2024 onwards. Study guides will be accessible online, and each student will be responsible for purchasing their own textbooks once they have successfully registered. Additionally, for paper-based programs, a transition to online teaching is scheduled for 2024.
