ACCESS to PORTICO

For UCL Students

Students must have completed registration and be in possession of a UCL userid and password to access their Portico account. If you do not have a userid or your password has expired, please read the instruction on the Information Services website at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/students/connections/registration

For UCL Staff

Access to Portico Web

Access to Portico web is granted by heads of departments or their nominee(s), who will determine the appropriate level of access you should have.  Typically, access levels are numbered 1, 2 or 3, where 3 would be high level access.  You can view your current access levels by clicking on the View your Portico access level link in Portico.  There are some restrictions to the higher levels, where you may have to have attended the appropriate training course before access can be given.

If you need your access levels to be changed your Head of Department or nominee can do this for you.  Once the change is made, you will receive an email confirming the change.

Changes to access levels to Portico reports are made in the same way, although in this case there is an overnight process involved, so you will have to allow 24 hours before you can see the change.

If you change department, your access levels will be reset and an email sent to your new head of department advising that your access levels need to be set to match your new role in your new department

Heads of departments can run a Portico report which details staff access within the department.

To enter module marks, you must:

  • have access levels of 2 or 3 for Awards and Progress
  • be listed as a module tutor
  • OR have a Portico marker record

These can be confirmed by the department's Examination Liaison Office (ELO).  If your ELO needs to make a change, they should contact the Portico Services Office through the PSO Helpdesk.

Training

Some roles require training.  This is organised and run by the Management Systems Team.
