About UFS Accommodation 2023-2024

It is very important to take note of the following academic requirements for junior residences:

BLOEMFONTEIN CAMPUS:

• Because there is a limited amount of space in each community, meeting the minimum admission requirements for your chosen or intended program of study does not guarantee placement in a resident on campus.

• Admission to a residence requires a minimum Grade 12 AP score of 30.

• Your academic merit is assessed using the university's most recent admission point calculation, whether those results are from Grade 11 or Grade 12.

• If your final Grade 12 AP is less than 30, yet you were admitted to a residence based on your Grade 11 AP, your admission to that residence will be revoked.

• You can still apply for a residence even if your current AP (Grade 11 final results or Grade 12 June results) is below 30.

• If you are enrolled in the University Access Programme (UAP), and you pass every module, you will be eligible for admission to a residence.

• In order to be eligible for admission to a residence, you must have successfully completed at least 120 credits during your second or subsequent years of enrollment at the UFS or another tertiary institution. Current first-year students will be eligible for housing depending on their Grade 12 AP scores.

SOUTH CAMPUS:
Admission to a full-time program on the South Campus

• If your studies encompass an extended curriculum program on the South Campus and you were provisionally admitted to a residence on the Bloemfontein Campus before your final Grade 12 results were made public, your provisional admission will automatically be transferred to a residence on the South Campus.

• You must always fulfill the requirements for the aforementioned admission in order for your admission to be granted.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:

• You should be aware as a prospective student that being assigned to a house does not guarantee that you will be accepted into a certain program of study. You must have received a conditional admission offer for a program of study or a final and definite offer for admission in order to be eligible for placement in a residence. Ultimately, your eligibility for admission to an undergraduate program of study and housing will depend on your final grade-point average (GPA) in Grade 12. Once you register as a student, you will then be permitted to move into the residence where you have been assigned.
• Our students' well-being and living circumstances are of utmost significance. The performance of the UFS is significantly influenced by student housing; as a result, each individual student's academic achievement depends on having a high-quality place to live. In order for private providers to receive university accreditation, they must conform to a list of fundamental criteria that was created with the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality's input regarding off-campus housing. According to the Policy on the Minimum Norms and Standards for Student Housing at Public Universities, the standards must be met (Government Gazette 39238, dated 29 September 2015).
