Academic activities suspended on all campuses

16 March 2021 | Story Lacea Loader

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.

Protection Services, with the assistance of private security, remains on high alert and is closely monitoring the situation on the campuses. The necessary safety and security plan, as well as contingency plans, are in place.

Please monitor the university’s communication platforms for updates on any developments.

It is important to ensure that your cellphone number is updated in order to receive communication via the KovsieApp and SMS.
