What is UP Mail?

The UP Mail (@up.edu.ph) is an email service available to all currently enrolled UP students and employed faculty and staff (whether regular, contractual or ICS (Individual Contract of Service), and offices in partnership with Google.

Is the @UP Mail different from the @upd, @upm, @uplb, etc.?
Each constituent university has its own webmail service for employees and students. Such email service is maintained by each CU’s respective Computer Center or IT office and they have the liberty to maintain such service depending on its mandate. UP Mail is different from these emails in such a way that it is used as the official access to the Core Information Systems, with simplified domain name (@up.edu.ph) and standard to all CUs.

Q: What if I have already filled out the form and have not yet received my UP Mail account after 2-3 working days?


A: First, kindly check your spam folder. The UP Mail credentials are sent in bulk during batch processing, and sometimes your email provider mistakes the emails sent as spam. Please check your spam folders and check to see if your UP Mail account details have already been sent there.

If not, you may send a request to ICT Technical Support at https://ictsupport.up.edu.ph/ and request for a follow-up regarding the status of your account. For questions regarding UP Mail and/or follow up on requests, please contact your CU IT Office.
