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
To log in:
- Open your browser and go to ienabler.tut.ac.za/pls/prodi41/w99pkg.mi_login.
- Enter your student number in the username field.
- Enter your PIN (password) in the password field.
- Click Login.
Once logged in, you can access the Self Help menu on the left (desktop) or the menu icon at the top right (mobile). The portal gives you access to your registration details, academic results, financial status, and email.
If You Do Not Know Your Student Number
If you have forgotten your student number, use the Forgot Student Number page on iEnabler. You can retrieve it using one of three options:

- Email address registered on the TUT system
Checking Your Application Status (Before Registration)
If you have applied to TUT and want to check whether you have been accepted, go to the ITS iEnabler application status page. Enter your ID number to see your application status and student number. If you do not have an SA ID, enter your surname, full name, and date of birth instead.
