Introduction
myUCF Grades is a way to report exam (or assignment) scores to your students in a FERPA-compliant manner. It is not mandatory. Note that myUCF Grades is different from official end-of-semester grade reporting to the University Registrar (which is explained in a separate tutorial).
Getting Started
1. Open your browser and type this URL: my.ucf.edu
2. The login at the top left asks for your PID (which you can look up here) and your password.
3. If you have never logged in before, your default password consists of an uppercase "P" - followed by your birthdate in the form of YYMMDD (Example: using the YYMMDD format, enter P600413 for April 13, 1960). You may change your password after your first login.
4. myUCF is a “portal” that lets you access multiple programs with just that one login you have already completed.
5. There are several “tabs” across the top. Click “Online Course Tools” and scroll down to find myUCF Grades.
6. The classes you are teaching will be automatically displayed. This tool does not function between semesters and during the first week (add/drop week) of classes. The classes will be created and automatically displayed after add/drop week ends.
7. Please use the navigation on the left for more topics on myUCF Grades.
