Wondering what's happening on campus as well as in and around Stellenbosch? Then download the Maties App and stay informed!
The app was launched in August and aims to improve communication with students. However, because it includes all types of university-related events staff will also find it very useful.
It was developed by the Recreation and Active Lifestyles Unit (RALU) situated within Maties Sport with the assistance of the Division for Information Technology.
How to get the Maties App:
- Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and search for Maties App.
- Download the app.
- Sign in with your Stellenbosch University username (staff) or student number and password.
After you've signed into the Maties App, it will give you the option to see what's on, add events to your calendar, show whether you are interested in or attending an event and finally, the option to check in at an event.
All headings are available in three languages: Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa.
In future, the university would be able to send emergency notifications to students and staff via the app, informing them of potential hazards or problems.
