University of South Africa

'UNISA' is a well established university rated around 1400 out of 6000 universities worldwide. 11th in Africa (REFERENCE : http://www.webometrics.info) Their degrees are not online per se, but course material and access to coursework is. Course study guides are provided as part of the tuition fee, but prescribed textbooks are not. Courses usually run over an academic year, usually from January to October. To pass, most courses require typically 2-3 assignments and a final examination. Final marks rely heavily on examinations, with coursework typically counting only 10-20% towards the final mark. The university offers very good value for money. Perhaps one of the least expensive universities around.
