The closing date for the submission of nominations for five members of the Convocation to the Excom of the Convocation was 18 May 2020 at 16:30. A total of six nominations were received and scrutinised, after which two nominations were declared invalid due to substantial non-conformance with the requirements laid down. The remaining four candidates are thus elected to the Excom and will serve for a period not exceeding five years.
We wish to congratulate the following four officials (in alphabetical order) with their election to the Excom of the Convocation:
1. Dr Pieter Bettings
2. Ms Ntombi Nhlapo
3. Mr Ntakuseni Razwiedani
4. Ms Nokuthula Sithole
A meeting of the Excom of the Convocation will be scheduled to discuss the one remaining vacancy in the Excom.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all those who participated in this process as well for their interest in, and commitment to the University and its affairs.
Received from: The Registrar and the President of the Convocation
UFS registration process extended to 17 February 2017
2017-02-10
The registration period for all new and returning students on the Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa Campuses has been extended until Friday 17 February 2017.
The extension is granted in the light of a request received from the Transitional Student Council on the Bloemfontein Campus, in consultation with the Student Representative Council on the Qwaqwa Campus, as well as a request from Universities South Africa (USAf) to universities around the country to extend the registration period due to NSFAS and funding problems experienced by students.
The registration process will continue in the Callie Human Centre and Examination Centre on the Bloemfontein Campus and the Nelson Mandela Hall on the Qwaqwa Campus until Friday 17 February 2017.
Students are advised that they will need to report to their respective faculties for academic advice before they can be registered.
