After careful consideration and in consultation with various stakeholders, the management of the University of the Free State (UFS) today decided that the online registration period will be extended by one week until Friday 18 February 2022.

In line with this decision, classes will commence on Monday 21 February 2022, to give students enough time to register and prepare for their academic activities.

The university’s decision to extend the online registration period derives, among others, from logistical and external factors that contributed to students only being able to register from the week of 7 February 2022.

Channels available for students to contact the university during the registration period:

► Central contact centre: +27 51 401 9111 (if you want to speak to one of our agents)

Central contact centre booklet
► WhatsApp chatbot: +27 87 240 6370 (if students want to conduct an online chat conversation via text messages)

Registration assistance: System-based online registration assistance functionality through the UFS website

Comprehensive registration information is available at:   www.ufs.ac.za/register

Our Faculty of Theology decided, as part of its strategic planning, to approach external advisers to gain a new perpective on the faculty’s programme and curriculum. 

To this end, a series of lectures by visiting professors on the implications of epistemological transformation for theology were presented. The professors represented disciplines apart from Theology and attracted an audience from fields other than Theology.
 
A topic that was put under the spotlight recently was “ A Critical Race Theory Discussion of Curriculum” by Prof. Dennis Francis, the Dean of our Faculty of Education. Academics from various disciplines attended Prof. Francis’s talk. 
 
Anybody is welcome to attend the lectures. The sessions are advertised on the calendar on our website.
