Some organisations registered with TOTUM do not support academic email address or student portal verification. If that is the case for the organisation you are applying through, you will instead see an option to verify with a document. This option will show after you have confirmed your institue name on the application at https://app.totum.com/register/join
When uploading your evidence on the TOTUM application please ensure the file is saved in one of the following supported formats: pdf, jpg, jpeg, png or webp.
