UP Mobile App Information

The new UP Mobile App has been launched with great features for staff, students, alumni and visitors. These features are available to users via different profiles, which can be changed by users. A design cross-over (also known as Mondrian design) layout was adopted to make optimal use of mobile screen real estate for all profile layouts. It has a scalable interface allowing for a consistent experience on all mobile phones or tablets.
