All UFS campuses reopen on Tuesday 27 September 2016

All academic and administrative services on the three campuses of the University of the Free State (UFS) will resume on Tuesday 27 September 2016.

The following decisions regarding the academic calendar are confirmed:

1. Students who missed tests and/or lectures from 19 to 26 September 2016 are requested to contact their respective faculties as from Tuesday 27 September 2016. This arrangement is also applicable to students whose tests and/or classes were disrupted on Monday 19 September 2016.
2. All tests and lectures scheduled from 27-30 September 2016 will continue as normal.
3. The holiday will take place as scheduled in the official university calendar (i.e. 3-7 October 2016).
4. Exams will continue as scheduled in the official university calendar. The main exam will still take place from 24 October to 12 November 2016, and the additional exam will take place from 14 November to 2 December 2016.

The necessary safety measures will be in place on all three campuses.

During a peaceful march, the senior leadership furthermore received a memorandum from the Free Education Movement (FEM) on the Bloemfontein Campus this afternoon, and will respond within the time frame agreed upon.
