Unisa students have launched an online petition demanding that they be given their certificates and degrees.
"I have lodged a formal complaint with the Ombudsman at Unisa and am playing a game of tag," she said."I understand this, but other places have held virtual graduations," Jones said."We are unable to get jobs or register with professional bodies who won't accept anything other than the certificate! In the case of SACE, for teachers, we will get a temporary number and would then need to pay again for a permanent number.
Another student, Lauren Kirchner, wrote her exam over a year ago and has yet to receive her degree. Kirchner is currently in Hong Kong, where she cannot register to teach because of the delay. "The last response was a telephone call I made, and they had lost my address, so that was apparently the hold-up. I've had friends that graduated the same time as me and have received their degrees. I am sitting in another country at the moment. I need my degree in order to register to teach.
