2. If you receive an error message that reads "You are not eligible to register for Patient Health Portal.​", please email [click-for-email] and include your TUid and the message.  This error usually means you have an account that needs to be re-activated.

3. Only Images (.gif, .png, .tiff, .tif, .jpg, .jpeg) and Documents(.txt, .pdf) are allowed!  Please note: iPhone file format .HEIC is not supported!
4. iPhone users: to change your default camera file format: Go to Settings on your iPhone-->Tap Camera. You will be shown some options like Formats, Grid, Preserve Settings, and Camera Mode--> Tap Formats, and change the format from High Efficiency to Most Compatible.  Now all your photos will be automatically saved as JPG instead of HEIC.
5. File must be smaller than 30MB.  Save images at a lower resolution, scan in black and white, set scanners to 150DPI to achieve a smaller file.
6. Make sure the file is local to your device (not on a network or cloud drive).
7. Try not to use Internet Explorer
