The university is funded by Sudan's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. As of September 2011, the university was a member in good standing of the Association of African Universities.
On 31 August 2021, conflict arose between students of the university and government forces after students demanded that the gates of the former United Nations–African Union Mission in Darfur headquarters be opened to them. In the subsequent clashes, a student was killed. The university subsequently closed indefinitely.
