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

State of our campuses: Message from the Vice-Rector: Academic, Prof Lis Lange
2016-10-29

Message from the Vice-Rector: Academic, Prof Lis Lange

Staff at the university have been working tirelessly to develop a different way of teaching and learning to ensure that you complete the 2016 academic year.

Nothing is more important to us than the quality of your education.

Teaching and learning will start on 1 November. However, this will not take place in the classrooms, but through a different mode of delivery which consists of a combination of printed and recorded lectures, study materials, and learning aids that will be provided by the university and delivered through Blackboard.

Everybody at the UFS has been working very hard to ensure that you succeed. However, you will also need to do your part. Apply yourself and demonstrate that you have the courage, the discipline, and the commitment to succeed.

Please view video below for a message to parents from Prof Lis Lange, Vice-Rector: Academic at the University of the Free State.
