For Students
Your professor has chosen to use a grade posting program called myUCF Grades to keep you informed of grades as they become available. Your grades will only be visible to you (likewise, you should not see any one else's grades but your own). It is a module (commonly called a "pagelet") that you can add to myUCF. This grade posting system is independent of other web-based grade posting systems such as Webcourses.
Important Features:
Your professor will need to "release" the grades to students. If you log in but cannot see the grades you expect to find, most likely your professor is not yet ready to release the grades to you.
• Official rosters auto-populate the Grades module; therefore, there should be no additional steps required by you or your instructor for your grades to be visible to you once the professor has "released" the grades to students.
Find the myUCF Grades Pagelet
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 just below if you don’t know it) 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 enrolled in 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. Click the desired course, and all grades that have been electronically posted for you in that course should appear. If the column headings do not make sense, you may want to ask your instructor to alter them so that they are more clear.
