Mafikeng - The University of the North West in Mafikeng has been closed following protests that led to the arrest of 15 students, vice-chancellor Ngoato Takalo said on Monday.
Police fired teargas at students who had barricaded the main entrance of the institution.
Since last week the students have been protesting against a proposed increase in tuition fees and the merger of higher education institutions.
Takalo said the exams, which were scheduled to start on Monday, would not go ahead.
