Launched in March 2003, the myUFL portal provides UF faculty,
staff and students with direct, easy access to UF’s on–line
resources, information, and myUFL systems. The portal is the first
of several new services created by UF Bridges–a multi–year
project to improve University of Florida business processes. The financial,
payroll, human resources, and Enterprise Reporting on–line systems
are accessible only through the myUFL portal.
For campus news and announcements, myUFL
is the ideal place to come. Users can subscribe to news pagelets for
most academic units and existing campus news sources like UF News,
University Digest and DDD Memos. In addition, important campus news
and announcements are delivered to role–based information sources
called Faculty News, Student News, and Staff News. Outside news sources
include –– New York Times, Chronicle of Higher Education,
BBC–World News, Wired News, and many others.
Employees will also use this portal to record their vacation time
or work schedule and check on benefits. To get started use your Gatorlink
credentials to log into: https://my.ufl.edu/
E-Mail
Your Gatorlink e-mail will automatically be established once your
GL account is set up. We strongly encourage you to ask Winnie Lante or Stewart Collins to establish a UF Exchange mail account for you. The Exchange account offers
several benefits including a larger mailbox size limit, on line folders,
on line calendaring and numerous collaboration abilities. Your mail
address will not change but you will receive the benefits of operating
in a full MS
Exchange Mail environment.
