Protests are taking place at University of Cape Town (UCT), Rhodes University and Wits.
Rhodes students say they have locked down the university this morning and will continue to demand lower fees.
Tyres have been burnt at the Grahamstown institution while lectures have been stopped.
In Cape Town, a handful of protesters have already gathered at the main entrance to UCT's campus in protest against a proposed 11 percent increase in tuition fees.
This follows a week of demonstrations at Wits University by students opposed to the proposed 10.5 percent hike in fees.
