3. Troubleshooting

Technical issue: The OpenAthens icon may not appear in the Google apps for UP Mail, nor is it available when you sign in using UP Webmail via MyAthens.

Workaround: This happens when the UP Mail account in question is not under UP Open University’s Organizational Unit (OU).

To fix this, send an email about the error to the University Library at [email protected] and include the following details:

• First  Name
• Last Name
• UP Mail (@up.edu.ph) address

If you do not have UP Mail, please obtain a UP Mail account from the UPOU ICTDO at [email protected]

We will forward this information to the UPOU ICTDO. They can verify if the concerned person has access to UP Mail and check if they are enrolled/employed in UP Open University so that they can initiate the transfer.
