Study material distribution is an important aspect of Open and Distance Learning.

Although multimedia instruction is growing rapidly at the South Campus, printed material is still a very important component of Formal Programmes. 

Amongst others, this includes the procurement of study material and all related stationery and products; the arranging of and printing of course, printed material and audio-visual materials (e.g., assessments and subject-related DVD’s); the keeping of course material in manageable stock levels; planning around packaging, and dispatch of printed material.

Mission: To supply the course material to each student in time for the commencement of the contact sessions of each term.

Vision: To add value to the student experience by supplying printed course material to an ever-growing number of students in advance of the commencement of the course, in line with the Integrated Transformation Plan (ITP) and Strategic Plan of the UFS, and until the infrastructure for total online teaching becomes available.
