DEGREE AT UNISA MEANS NOTHING

<p>I earned my BA HON Psych Counselling through UNISA with plans of completing the BPsych program to become a registered Counsellor. UNISA stopped offering the program and left me (and I'm sure thousands of other UNISA) stranded. When I approached other accredited (by the HPCSA) to complete the final (4th) year to qualify they refuse to recognise my credits or degrees and was told that I have to REDO my BA and HON!!! This is absolutely ridiculous, ********* and leads me to believe that a UNISA Degree, though accredited by the HPCSA, means squat. God knows we need more counsellors in our country and yet here I am - ready, willing and supposedly 3/4 of the way to assisting and helping our nation and yet I am not being allowed to. How can they get away with this? Do you think that if I asked for a refund for all those years of modules because they decided to discontinue a program thereby leaving me totally stranded, that I would get it? It is disgusting.</p>
