For every student at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), the official portals are the digital heart of your academic journey. They are not just websites; they are your personal academic file cabinet, payment gateway, and more.

Mastering the Undergraduate (FIRARS) and Postgraduate (pgportal) portals is crucial for a smooth experience from registration day to requesting your final academic records.

Here is your essential, step-by-step guide to navigating the FUTA portals whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student

1. The FUTA Undergraduate Portal (FIRARS)

The FIRARS portal is the primary platform for all regular undergraduates, serving as your administrative lifeline throughout your four to five years at the university.

Initial Login & Security (Freshers & Returning Students)

Candidate Status	Username	Initial Password
Fresh Students	Your JAMB Registration Number	Your Surname (in CAPITAL/UPPERCASE)
Returning Students	Your Matriculation Number	Your Surname (in CAPITAL/UPPERCASE)

• Crucial Step: Upon first login, you will be prompted to supply a valid email address and phone number and change your password. This is vital for security and for receiving critical communication like accommodation offers.

Key Tasks on the Undergraduate Portal

Task Category	Purpose & Process
School Fee Payment	Step 1: Click the Payment section. Step 2: Select the correct payment type (e.g., School Fee). Step 3: Generate an Invoice containing your RRR Number. Step 4: Pay the RRR through the REMITA Platform ONLY (via bank branch or online using your ATM card).
Course Registration	This link appears ONLY AFTER your school fee payment has been successfully confirmed/verified on the portal. You must register courses every semester.
Student Biodata	Fresh students must complete this section. It includes uploading your O’Level results for screening and providing personal information. Ensure your results are uploaded correctly on the portal and JAMB CAPS.
Accommodation	The Accommodation link becomes active once your school fee is confirmed. Hostel application is typically on a first-come, first-served basis, so monitor the portal closely for opening announcements.

This portal is tailored for PGD, M.Tech, M.Phil, and Ph.D. students, managing everything from admissions to annual progress.

📚 Key Tasks on the Postgraduate Portal

Annual Progress Form (Returning Students)	Returning M.Tech/Ph.D. students must first submit Part A of the Annual Progress Form online.
