VICE-CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGEThe University of Fort Hare is a proud African university with an illustrious history spanning 99-years. Founded in 1916 it will be celebrating its centenary in 2016. As the University approaches that historical landmark it is proud to welcome new applicants who will be part of that great moment and share in the achievements of this iconic Institution.

The University has now reached the 12 000 mark in the number of students enrolled and continues to grow not only in the quantity but the quality of students who graduate from it. The graduates of the University of Fort Hare are found in all spheres of social, economic, cultural and political life. The University continues to fulfill its mandate in the core areas of teaching/learning, research and community engagement. Teaching and learning in the various disciplines is accompanied by a ground-breaking transdisciplinary module in Life Knowledge and Action done by all first year students.

This module is aimed at producing well-rounded graduates who will be global citizens. The University continues to improve its teaching and learning capabilities and has a Teaching and Learning Centre which is aimed to introduce modern ways in curriculum and pedagogical approaches. We are currently exploring a humanizing pedagogy whose basic values are aimed at putting the student at the centre of education.

The University research output has been growing at a very high rate andachieving targets set by the Department of Higher Education and Training. The research niche areas are not only responsive to current societal needs but are also promoting scholarship that is relevant to future needs in the production of knowledge.

The University academics and students continue to play a significantrole in community engagement. The premise from which the University

operates is that knowledge does not only reside behind the walls of theUniversity but there is indigenous knowledge out there that can enrich the content of what we teach and the knowledge we produce throughresearch.

Social and cultural activities continue to generate enormous interest in our students. The various sporting codes, the choir, student political organisations etc, continue to link the students with the community.The University continues to try and improve the quality of student life inside and outside the classroom. Student accommodation is aimed to improve with an additional 1250 beds to be provided in new residences. Refurbishment of old residences remains an on going priority.

The teaching/learning and research facilities continue to receive attention so as to provide top modern facilities for our students.It is our hope that as you join the University of Fort Hare you will be part of a team that will continue to seek the best for this Institution.

Three of these must be from one examination sitting. An applicant who will be turning 23 in his/her first year of registration shall be considered for Mature Age.

Foundation ProgrammeThe Social Sciences and Humanities Foundation Programme is an entrance programme intended to provide a strong academic foundation to students who do not meet Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities minimum entry requirements because they do not have sufficient Swedish rating points.

The SSHFP follows the same structure as mainstream modules, but its curriculum is extended over a longer period and there is additional academic support. SSHFP students must take one more year to complete their degree than mainstream students. These students must register for Academic Practices and Reasoning (APR) which is a value-addition course in their first year of registration. This course assists students in developing their academic skills towards their qualification.

SPORT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FORT HARE

Page 30: Fort Hare Student Guide 2015

Sport is one of those activities that transcend the mere satisfaction of physical sporting endeavour. The significance of sport as shaping your character has been echoed by thousands of top athletes across the sporting spectrum.

What are the advantages and benefits of participating in sport?The following are but a few: improved health, meeting new people and developing friendships, the opportunity to play at the highest level as determined by you and being a role model to be emulated by your peers.

However, sport participation also has its demands. In order to enhance your performance at any level you need to possess the following characteristics: commitment to participate and meet the required rules for such participation; discipline to participate within the rules of the competition and respect match officials, club officials, team mates and spectators; dedication to be a team player and place a high premium on the success of the team; determination to stay the course and not quit. However, the greatest demand will be how you manage your time between academic achievement and sport participation.

Thousands of students have managed to do so and in the process have developed into well balanced individuals because sport is an integral part of student life.

The University of Fort Hare offers you the opportunity to enjoy this enriching experience – an EXPERIENCE which will greatly contribute to your holistic development as a PROUD FORT HARIAN.

Both campuses – Alice and East London – offer a wide variety of sport to choose from. All sport at Fort Hare offers our students the opportunity to participate in national student competitions under the auspices of the national university structure called University Sport South Africa (USSA). In addition, our University teams play in local leagues and participate in tournaments. The following codes of sport are practiced at the university:Athletics; Basketball; Body Building; Boxing; Chess; Cricket; Dance; Hockey; Judo; Karate; Netball; Pool; Rugby; Rowing; Soccer; Squash; Table Tennis; Tennis; Volleyball.

FINANCIAL AID BURSARIES AND LOANS

Page 33: Fort Hare Student Guide 2015

The University currently offers financial aid to South African citizens who are financially needy and who show academic potential.

Students are required to apply annually for financial aid and any aid granted is granted for one academic year only.

Funding for such financial aid is made through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) and hence the size of any award is determined according to the NSFAS means test.

The closing date for application for financial aid is the 31st August 2014 for new students and 31st August 2014 in respect of returning students.

First Year Student will only be given an application form for Financial Assistance upon providing the Financial Aid Office with a letter from the University indicating that the student has been either accepted or provisionally accepted for the 2015 academic year.

The value of the NSFAS award will only be credited to the student’s fee account in the third term, once all bursaries have been awarded and paid into the student’s account. This is to ensure that the loans granted are as low as possible.

Students receiving NSFAS loans will be required to complete an application form and a loan agreement before any payment will be effected.

The allocation received from NSFAS is limited and hence the Financial Aid Committee of the University, who gives financial aid awards, must ensure that as many students are supported as possible while at the same time taking into account financial need.

Students are therefore advised that registering on the basis of receiving a full loan from NSFAS should not be considered and that a family contribution as determined by the Means Test may be required.

It is also important to note that there are various different kinds of funding made available each year through NSFAS. Below are just a few categories that are made available each year:

It is closely related to the intended outcomes of the NSC subject Mathematical Literacy.

The Mathematics test is based on the Curriculum Statement for the NSCsubject Mathematics, Papers 1 & 2 only.

What if I can’t write on a Saturday?As shown on the NBT test schedule, there are writing sessions scheduled on Fridays and Sundays.

What if I miss my scheduled test?Registration for the NBT is specific to the date and the site you selected.If you miss your scheduled date, or change your mind about the testsession, you must register and pay again.

Should there be an emergency, you must send an e-mail to [email protected] as soon as possible. NBT Project staff will contact you the following week to explore your options for a make-up test. With documentation of a legitimate emergency, you may not be required to pay a second time. Legitimate situations that have occurred in the past include taxi accident on the way to the test site, hospitalization, broken collar bone, and family funeral.

Writers that become sick during the NBTs are always offered the next available writing session. However, the entire test must be written at the make-up session as partial answer sheets are not scored.

The best way to prepare yourself is to have a good night’s rest before the testing, eat a healthy breakfast and make sure that you arrive for the testing in good time.
