How it Works
Once you have made an initial enquiry and it has been established by the UPOnline Call Centre that you are an eligible student, you will receive communication from the University of Pretoria. This communication will provide you with a link that will give you direct access to the University of Pretoria’s Online Study Application System. This link includes a unique token for your online study application that can only be used once. Copy and paste this link into your browser’s address line. The URL will open the landing page of the University of Pretoria’s online study application system.
You will be required to provide an email address to which the University can send communication. Please take care when providing your email address not to make typing errors. Note that there are four steps to complete and these steps must be done in sequential order so that the application is correctly started.
You will be required to capture personal and contact details, provide your previous tertiary education information, select your study choice, and upload a series of documents. You will need to have certain information ready, and have the supporting documents electronically available, without which you will not be able to complete your online application.
You will only be able to submit your online application once you have:
- Completed the online study application form.
- Uploaded all the supporting documents in PDF format.
- Paid the application fee.
- Verified the application and clicked ‘APPLY’.
- If you have not clicked ‘APPLY’, your form has not been submitted.
Once your application has been successfully submitted:
- You will no longer be able to edit your application.
- You will receive your allocated student number (EMPLID) via email.
- You will receive important procedures on how to check your progress and application results on the student portal.
Before a student will be able to register, a contract needs to be concluded between the student and the University of Pretoria. Students must access the contract online on the UP Portal, Student Centre. Students are required to complete the contract online, submit, print, sign and then upload to the Upload Supporting Documentation section in the Student Centre on the UP Portal.
All enquiries regarding registration must be directed to enquiries@online.up.ac.za.
Please note that you must renew your registration at the beginning of each module until you comply with all the requirements for the qualification. Should you fail to renew your registration at the beginning of a particular module, you will not be entitled to clickUP access or to guidance by your lecturers/supervisor.
We strongly recommend that you register in clickUP for the Orientation Module at least one week before the start of your first module. The Orientation Module will provide you with information necessary to make a success of your online learning journey. Your Student Success Coordinator will assist you in the onboarding process and navigating through the orientation module.
Be sure to access your clickUP homepage and work through the Orientation module before your academic module starts.
