Notes

1. Do not share your password with anyone, or they will be able to access your account!

2. The system is case-sensitive. Make sure that you use upper - and lowercase correctly when typing your username and password.

For example, U12345678 will not work, you have to use u12345678.

3. You use the same password for the UP Portal, clickUP, and for connecting your devices to the campus Wi-Fi. When you change your password on the UP Portal, it is automatically changed for clickUP. However, you must “forget” the TUKS Wi‐Fi and log into it again manually on your devices after you changed your password.

4. Reset your password on the UP Portal.
