Student access cards

• Student cards provide access to the campus and various computer facilities and buildings on campus.
Keep your student card with you at all times. The student card must be presented upon request and
during examinations and tests. One student card is issued to every registered UP student when they
commence their studies. Keep this card safe as it will be used for the duration of your studies at the
University of Pretoria. Student cards will be activated annually, directly after the registration period.
• You must collect your student card after you have registered at the Hillcrest campus from 21 January
until 1 February.
• The first student card is issued free of charge. In the event of loss or damage, you may apply for a
duplicate card at the Student Service Centre at a prescribed fee.
• A student card will not be issued without proof of identification (ID, passport or driver's license).

UP follows a blended teaching and learning approach, which includes both online learning and in-person
classes. It is therefore important for students to have access to an internet-enabled device, preferably a laptop.
The minimum recommended specifications are an i3 processor with 8GB of RAM and 500GB of storage. Some

2
faculties e g the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology (EBIT) and the Faculty of
Natural and Agricultural Sciences (NAS), require higher specifications and specific software. Please consult your
faculty's webpage for the faculty-specific requirements.
