ufs.ac.za Admission – How to Apply for UFS Registration 2025/2026

Up till now, anticipating students never stop asking the Difference Between an Application and Registration.

An Application is a formal request submitted to the authority of an institution to be considered suitable to study in their university. While Registration simply means the process of being registered into a university to study a course.

Applying for UFS Registration 2025/2026

You MUST apply for admission during the relevant application period before registering for any qualification at UFS.

UFS will assess your application according to the academic admission requirements for your qualification of choice and your final mark received at the undergraduate level.

If you qualify for admission, and if offered a space, you must accept the offer within the prescribed period before you will be able to register.

After Submitting an Application and Confirming your Application Status, What Is the Next Thing to Do?

You must register. Should you not register for the previous academic year for any reason, you will be required to re-apply for the next academic year.

As soon as your University of the Free State, UFS registration has been finalized, a letter confirming your registration for the semester or academic year will be sent to your myUFS account.
