Due to logistical reasons – which include the coming long weekend and the fact that the first term ends next week – the academic programme on the Qwaqwa Campus will remain online until Friday 25 March 2022.
Students will be informed by their faculties about the revised schedule for the week of 22-25 March 2022, as well as about arrangements regarding tests and assessments scheduled for next week on the campus.

A jol place where students from the University of the Free State (UFS) can socialise during events such as rag and intervarsity was officially handed over to the UFS by the builders this week.
The Jol place, which is situated on the Western Campus, has ten float building areas, each with its own power points (currently temporarily) and container (also temporarily). There are also outside taps and high-mast lights on the premises and a large area has been paved. The covered area includes an open stoep, kitchens, a bar, and a stage with artists’ dressing rooms as well as bathrooms for men and ladies and for persons with disabilities. The premises, that includes wooden and concrete benches, can accommodate 1 200 people.
The total project cost for this facility was R6,3 million, of which just over 50% was contributed by Absa.
Attending the hand over ceremony were, from the left: Prof. Frederick Fourie (Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS), Mr Natie Botes (from the building company Ströhfeldt Sikeye Joint Ventures), Ms Edma Pelzer
(Director: Physical Resources and Special Projects and the UFS), Dr Natie Luyt (Dean of Student Services), and Jolice Neniëls (forth-year LL.B. student).
