All students who are not South African citizens are required to email us your proof of medical aid and study permit before registration. Please email the documents to [email protected].

Online registration guidelines:

Log in to UP Student Portal, click on the UP Student Centre link and check for holds in the right column of the student centre. If there are any holds, students will not be able to register.

First-year students, who are not sure about their curriculum, need to register for core modules only. Elective modules can be added after attending the orientation programme and curriculum advice. First years with fixed curricula can register their modules as they appear on the registration page. Current students are to register fully online from 4 January 2024. There is no fixed registration schedule for these students.
