The Qwaqwa Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) will reopen on 28 February 2022. The decision was made by the university management today after the campus was closed on 22 February 2022 due to violent protest action.
From 28 February 2022 to 4 March 2022, all classes will be presented online.
Students will be informed by their respective faculties about the model of academic delivery that will be followed from 7 March 2022.
The arrangement is estimated to continue for two to three weeks at the most, after which the academic programme will return to the approved teaching plans for 2022.

New first-year students welcomed at the UFS
The Acting Rector and Vice Chancellor of the University of the Free State (UFS), Prof. Teuns Verschoor, has welcomed the new first-year students during a ceremony on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein today.
“This new experience is an opportunity to not only make your own decisions but to develop and grow as a person. Make your mark, don’t leave a stain,” he said.
Mr Eric Bost, Ambassador of the United States of America (USA) to South Africa, also addressed the students and their parents.
“This is an opportunity to acquire knowledge and to make a positive difference in your lives and the lives of others,” he said.
He also urged students not to judge people on their ignorance of a view but to asses others based on their character and abilities.
