UP Portal: Updated University of Pretoria Portal Guide

by Slimzy DeOriginal

The UP Portal is the major platform where students can get access to all the University’s resources online. This portal gives the students access to everything including libraries, course materials, journals, etc.

Each student will have access to the platform with their unique Students ID Number and unique password combination. The password must be something that the students will choose by themselves.

The platform is accessible anywhere even beyond borders on any network. But it is also one of the most secured university platforms in the world.

UP Portal Login Page

Since the portal is strictly for students and staff of the University of Pretoria, One cannot register it out of their own free will.

You can only access the platform if you are a staff or student with a valid student or staff ID Number. With that in mind, let us take a look at how to access the platform.

The UP Portal Login Page is accessible via the upnet.up.ac.za link. Likewise, you can also visit up.ac.za and click on the “My UP Login” button to get to the login page.
