The Council of the University of the Free State (UFS) is seeking to co-opt a suitable candidate to serve for a period of four (4) years on the Finance Committee of Council. To this end, nominations for suitably qualified and experienced candidates are invited.

The Finance Committee of Council exercises oversight over the financial and investment portfolio of the UFS.

Candidates must be suitably qualified with requisite knowledge and experience of financial matters (including investments and acquisitions that are material to the UFS’s business). An appropriate qualification in the financial field is required, as is registration with the relevant professional bodies. 

Nominations must be submitted on the prescribed Nomination form, together with detailed curricula vitae, to the Registrar of the UFS at registrar@ufs.ac.za before 16:30 on 12 January 2022.

The Nominations Committee of Council will consider all the nominations and make a recommendation to the Council, which will decide whether to co-opt any of the candidates. 

The Finance Committee meets at least four times per year, or more frequently as may be necessary. 

The Council may decide not to co-opt any of the candidates.  

For enquiries, you may contact Mr NN Ntsababa at registrar@ufs.ac.za or telephone number +27 51 401 3796.

Extension of registration process to 15 February 2013
2013-02-08

08 February 2013

In response to the representations made by the Students Representative Council (SRC) on behalf of students who are struggling to find the financial means to enable them to register, the Rector and Vice-Chancellor has reluctantly agreed to permit registration to continue until Friday 15 February 2013. This concession is limited to the students who are attempting to register as current pipeline applicants or returning students. No new late applications will be permitted during this extension.

The process of registration will not take place in the Callie Human Centre. Students will register by visiting each of the offices involved.

This reluctant decision is based on the fact that compassion needs to be shown to families that are struggling in these difficult financial times. It is also taken reluctantly because of the knowledge that this places pressure on our academic colleagues, who have already advanced well into the first quarter of the programmes of study.

There shall be no further concession. The absolute deadline for registration is now 15 February 2013 as any further extension will significantly undermine the academic project.
