Academic Intelligence: My SANTS Portal FAQ

How do I retrieve my My SANTS login credentials?

Your primary username is the registered email address provided during your enrollment. Initial passwords are typically generated by the SANTS admissions office. If you have not received your onboarding email, check your secondary contact folders or initiate the “Forgot Password” workflow on the portal homepage.


What should I do if the OTP verification code is not arriving?

OTP delays are often caused by server-side latency or email filtering. First, verify your Spam/Junk folders. If no code arrives within 5 minutes, ensure your browser cache is cleared and re-trigger the request. In 2026, many students also opt to whitelist the @sants.co.za domain to ensure deliverability.


Is the My SANTS portal mobile-compatible for 2026?

Yes. The My SANTS portal (mysants.sants.co.za) utilizes Responsive Web Design (RWD), making it fully accessible via iOS and Android browsers. For the best experience while submitting assignments or taking online assessments, we recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome or Safari.


Why is my account temporarily locked?

To prevent unauthorized access, the portal triggers a security lockout after five consecutive failed login attempts. To resolve this, wait 30 minutes for an automatic reset or contact the SANTS Help Centre between 08:00 and 16:00 for a manual identity verification and unlock.


Can I access my academic results directly via the portal?

Absolutely. Once logged in, navigate to the “Academic Records” tab. Here, students can view historical results, current semester grades, and download unofficial transcripts for professional use or bursary applications.
