How to Use the TUT Student Portal (ITS iEnabler Guide)

The TUT student portal is the ITS iEnabler Self Help system used by Tshwane University of Technology students to register, upload documents, check results, and manage their accounts. You log in at ienabler.tut.ac.za with your student number and PIN.

This guide covers how to log in, upload documents, check your registration status, view results, and fix common portal errors.

How to Log In to the TUT Student Portal (ITS iEnabler)

The TUT iEnabler Self Help portal is at:

https://ienabler.tut.ac.za/pls/prodi41/w99pkg.mi_login
