Qwaqwa Campus reopens on 28 February 2022

25 February 2022 | Story Lacea Loader

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.

First Car makes life easier for our Kovsies with disabilities

2014-06-23

Kovsie student Nthabiseng Mofokeng and Martie Miranda, Sign Language interpreter of the USD, with the sedan sponsored by First Car Rental Service.

First Car Rental Service launched their transport service for students with disabilities at our Bloemfontein Campus during 2013. Their uniquely-branded bright pink sedan and mini-bus are easy to spot as they travel to and from campus.

Driver, John Moatlhodi, safely transports our students with disabilities between the Bloemfontein and South Campuses, to their medical appointments around the city, as well as to projects arranged by the Unit for Students with Disabilities (USD).

Initially, First Car mostly transported interpreters to the South Campus, but their service is rapidly growing in popularity. Added to this great initiative, First Car supplies this transport service at no cost to the university.
