All academic activities have been suspended on all UFS campuses from 17 to 22 March 2021. No online/face-to-face lectures/tests/assignments will take place until 23 March 2021, and the full academic programme will resume on this date.
This decision will allow the university management an opportunity to address outstanding matters regarding the admission of senior undergraduate students.
Administrative activities will continue during this time and the campuses are not closed. The university management is aware that sporadic disruptions of activities by small groups are still taking place on the Bloemfontein Campus.

Academic’s work appears in New York publication
2008-12-04

 
 The work of Ms Estelle Heideman of the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS), on an HIV/Aids project on farms in the southern Free State, has appeared in On Philanthropy, an online publication in New York, USA. The aim of the project was to equip 40 farm workers on two farms near the town of Philippolis with knowledge and skills regarding HIV/Aids. Ms Heideman has just returned from a two-month scholarship programme at the University of Columbia and the University of California, Los Angeles, where she participated in the MAC AIDS Fund Leadership Initiative. She launched a DVD earlier this year on the project before she left for New York. The On Philanthropy article can be accessed through the following link: Click
