About University of the Free State (UFS) Self Service
The University of the Free State’s Oracle, or self-service, is an online portal that allows students to register and interact with other students in various activities throughout their time at the university.
Students are able to access UFS self service, UFS blackboard (eLearn), timetables, Ufs4life emails, library, exam results, and protection services through the University of the Free State student site.
Important logins, such as that of the UFS oracle, are stored in the student portal (UFS PeopleSoft).

UFS Password Change
Every 90 days, UFS students must change their passwords. When your password is about to expire, you will receive an email notification.
For further security, you may want to change your password on a frequent basis.
Your password will be used to access your email, get on to the internet on campus, and even register for classes through UFS PeopleSoft.
Take a look at the Ufs password policy in the image below before changing your password. This will walk you through the process of changing your password.
