Notice of discontinuation can be given as follows:

  • Students may cancel/discontinue modules themselves on the PeopleSoft self-service (www.ufs.ac.za/register2020) page, throughout the year of registration, except during examination periods (the system will be closed from the day the semester marks are published until the end of the examination period). Please consult your academic advisor before making any changes on your registration.
  • A notice of discontinuation of registration on the relevant registration form may be submitted to the administrative faculty officer concerned in the George du Toit Administration Building after registration and throughout the year, except during examination periods.
