The university's main campus is located in the town of Bor, Jonglei State, on the banks of the White Nile River.
This location lies approximately 185 kilometres (115 mi), by road, north of Juba, the capital and largest city in that country.
[1] The approximate coordinates of the main university campus are: 6° 13' 12.00"N, 31° 33' 0.00"E (Latitude: 6.220000; Longitude: 31.550000).
The coordinates are approximate because the university campus does not yet show on most publicly available maps.
