Classes have been cancelled for the day and are expected to resume on Monday.
Students are unhappy with accommodation and other facilities at the university.
Burnt rubble and upturned rubbish bins were used to block the entrance to the parking area.
Police are monitoring the situation while UKZN management is also on scene.
