Dear Prospective Student,
 
We have been alerted to concerns among parents and prospective students regarding studies in 2017. Apparently there is concern about the possibility that the UFS will not be in a position to register matriculants in 2017.
 
We would like to confirm that registration of new first-year students will continue in 2017. The UFS is furthermore committed to deliver the quality education for which we are known.
 
Please note that the closing date for applications is 31 October 2016. You can apply at http://www.ufs.ac.za/apply.
 
We look forward to welcoming you in 2017!
