We are one of the first universities in the country where students can fully register online on their own. In 2010, senior undergraduate students as well as postgraduate students (including master’s and doctoral students) were encouraged to register online for their studies at the UFS for 2011. In 2010, as incentive, the UFS offered 20 laptops as well as 20 cash prizes of R1 000 each for the students who successfully registered online from Monday, 1 November 2010.
