Provincial Associations are referred to as Chapters. A provincial association/chapter offers opportunities for continued friendship with fellow alumni and continued engagement with the University of Limpopo.

A Chapter is an extension of the University of Limpopo Alumni and Convocation Association. It is defined along geographic lines within the location where each association is based, namely; Gauteng, North West, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Free State, KwaZulu Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and foreign states that are composed of graduates. The provincial/chapter Executive Committee shall consist of:-

  • The Chairperson;
  • The Deputy Chairperson;

  • Provincial Treasure; and
  • An additional member, unless stated otherwise in their adopted provincial/chapter Constitution.
