07 June 2019 | Story Eugene Seegers | Photo Barend Nagel

What? Your new KovsieApp is here!
How? Download this mobile app to your phone from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Why? To access your information from the UFS website (current, registered students only ??).
It’s free! While you are connected to the on-campus Wi-Fi network.

Campus life just became a whole lot simpler. With the app, you can access personal information like study records, marks, class and exam timetables, mini fee statement, etc.

How to log in

Log in like this:

Download the app, of course.
Tap on the red button labelled ‘Student Login’ at the bottom of the app (see screenshot).
Log in with your UFS student credentials.
An OTP (one-time pin) will then be sent to the cellphone listed on your student profile. Do we have your correct number?
Enjoy easy access to your personal UFS information with the KovsieApp! Unless…

… we don’t have your correct cellphone number. Please update your most recent contact number to get to your personal information in the app.

Updating your details

Please update your cellphone number by using the Student Self-service page on KovsieLife if you have trouble logging into or using the app.

#FaceOfFacebook 2016/2017

2016-04-29

Kovsies #FaceOfFacebook was initiated from the need to communicate with students, thus becoming a virtual friend. Annual auditions are held to choose the new face representing the UFS on Facebook. The successful candidate holds the title of #FaceOfFacebook for the next 12 months, attending events, and filming short video clips to post on our Facebook page. In effect, the #FaceOfFacebook is not only an important spokesperson, but a proud Kovsie ambassador as well. At the end of their reign, they receive a recommendation letter and portfolio of their work.

Here are our top five contestants (in no particular order):

Jet'aime Pond
Tshwaro Thothela
Mbulelo Siyoko
Ingrid Wentzel
Reuben Davids

The next phase of our #FaceOfFacebook auditions involves you. In the words of one of our contestants: "I need your vote ... Like this post, share and go tell your friends about it."

Go to the UFS Facebook page to view the videos of our Top Five contestants, and like your favourite. Each like will count as a vote, and the person with the most votes at the closing time will be declared the winner. You will need to be a registered Facebook user to vote.

The deadline for voting is 6 May 2016 at 16:00.
