We’ll send you an email to let you know how to set up access to Portico and another with your UCL student number. These emails are usually sent up to 48 hours after you submit your UCAS application.

If you haven’t received your emails after 48 hours (and you’ve checked your spam/junk folder), contact us and we’ll resend them.

To help make sure our emails arrive in your inbox, we recommend you add “@ucl.ac.uk” to your safe senders list.

Before you can log in to Portico, register your email address with Online User Registration.

You will need:

Your UCL student number (emailed to you)

The email address you used on your UCAS application

See our FAQs for guidance on how to choose an acceptable password.

After you have registered your email address, you can log in to Portico. Your username is the email address you used during Online User Registration. You can reset your password if you have forgotten it.

If you have any problems accessing Portico, contact Portico support by telephone on +44(0)20 7679 5000 or by email to itservices@ucl.ac.uk. The Helpdesk is open Monday - Friday 8.30am-5.30pm. Unfortunately, the Admissions team cannot help with login problems.
