I understand that I may not be assigned a buddy based on my preferences due to the nationality and academic levels of the international students who enroll at UFS.

I Agree

I understand that I am required to attend the Ambassador Training session. I am also willing to commit to meet with my buddy(ies) at least twice per month throughout the semester.

I Agree

I understand that my international buddy and myself will have cultural differences. I understand that I will be respectful of these differences and respond to them in a culturally sensitive way. I understand that if I am uncomfortable with these differences, I am expected to contact Mr. Lekiti Rantsane (RantsaneLP@ufs.ac.za) to discuss my situation.

I Agree

I understand that this is a program designed for friendship and is NOT meant to provide any type of romantic opportunities between me and my buddy. I understand that I will not be allowed to participate in the program if I act inappropriately towards my Buddy. I also understand that if my Buddy acts inappropriately towards me, I will report the incident to Mr. Lekiti Rantsane (RantsaneLP@ufs.ac.za) immediately.

I Agree

It is agreed that I will serve as a volunteer with the University of the Free State without monetary compensation.
