The University of the Free State (UFS) has obtained an interim court order prohibiting any individuals from engaging in unlawful activities or conduct on any of its campuses.
In terms of the order, no person may amongst others:
- Participate in or promote unlawful protest action;
- Disrupt or interfere with academic or online activities;
- Block access to or from university campuses;
- Intimidate, threaten, or harass students, staff, or visitors; or
- Damage, destroy, or tamper with university property or safety equipment.
The order applies to all UFS campuses — Bloemfontein, South, and Qwaqwa — and remains in force pending the final determination of the matter.
The University urges all members of the community to respect the order and uphold a safe, conducive environment for teaching, learning, and work.
New Orientation Programme for 2008
2008-01-07
During 2007 the Vice-Rector: Student Affairs, Dr Ezekiel Moraka, appointed an Orientation Task Team to co-ordinate and enhance the orientation of students in 2008. This programme will begin on 11 January 2008 when the new first-year students will be officially welcomed to the UFS. The programme will run until classes begin in February.
The programme will reach a climax during Success Week (28 January - 1 February) that aims to support and enhance students’ focus on academic success. During this week, two programmes will be running - one for seniors and one for first-year students.
