To ensure safety and security on the university campus, visitors are required to enter the Bloemfontein Campus through the DF Malherbe gate (Gate 5), and to register at the Visitors Centre where they will be issued with a temporary access card for the various parts of the Bloemfontein Campus.

Conference delegates     
Conference delegates and visiting groups will be registered at the Visitors Centre. For convenience, the department hosting the conference will be required to register visitors prior to their arrival so that access cards can be generated beforehand.

The department or faculty hosting a visitor is required to contact the Visitors Centre and make all arrangements for access card(s) to be issued to their visiting delegate(s) and to be returned to the Visitors Centre once the conference is over.

Students attending short courses
Students attending short courses are required to apply for an access card for the duration of their studies, at a cost of R65. Applications can be done online or at the Visitors Centre front desk.

The application should be accompanied by an identification document and a letter from the relevant department or faculty to confirm registration and the duration of the course.
