2017 Annual Report

The scope and boundary of the University of Johannesburg’s Annual Report
is reflected in this section and is, firstly, guided by the Department of Higher
Education and Training Regulations for Annual Reporting (compliance report) by
Public Higher Education Institutions. Secondly, the principles of integrated and
sustainability reporting are taken into consideration for the portfolio and divisional
sections of this report.
The Annual Report covers the period of 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 and highlights development and performance for the calendar year. The report is available at www.uj.ac.za. Any questions, queries and comments regarding this report should be directed to the Registrar, whose contact details are available on the University of Johannesburg’s website.
The report is an overview of the core business of the University of Johannesburg (UJ), which is offered on the four campuses in Gauteng: the Auckland Park Kingsway Campus (APK), the Auckland Park Bunting Road Campus (APB), the Doornfontein Campus (DFC) and the Soweto Campus (SWC).
The following processes and guidelines were followed for determining the content of the report:
- ¾ the Regulations for Reporting by Public Higher Education Institutions;
- ¾ the principles reflected in King III on Corporate Governance, as applied to higher education institutions;
- ¾ the Institutional Strategic Plan 2025 and predetermined objectives, as approved by Council and reflected in the Annual Performance Plan (APP);
- ¾ the Institutional Risk Register approved by Council.
The annual report is presented in sections largely determined by the structure of the institution; however, the important cross-over themes of risk management, sustainability and transformation, as well as the six strategic objectives of the institution, are addressed both in dedicated sections and across the Annual Report.
