Get a student computer account
 During the first two weeks at the start of every semester a TEMPORARY generic student account allows access to UFV computer resources. After this two week grace period, the generic account is DISABLED and you MUST obtain and use your own personal computer account.
STEP 1- Go to a computer
► Are you on-campus in a UFV computer lab or at a UFV Library computer?
- Turn on a UFV computer and wait for the login prompt
► Are you away from campus at a computer with internet access?
- Type http://my.ufv.ca into a web browser
- Go to the Secure Access Login area of myUFV
STEP 2 - Type your username
- Your computer username is your student number
- It is nine numbers Example: 300099999
- It is printed on your campus card and your course registration receipt
STEP 3 - Type your password
- The FIRST time you log in to the UFV network your default password is set to your date of birth
- It is six numbers in the format of yymmdd
Example: February 17, 1984 is 840217
► yy (last two digits of year) 84
► mm (two digits of month) 02
► dd (two digits of day) 17

STEP 4 - Set your security question (available in myUFV only)
- Once you successfully log into myUFV, set a security question to assist you in the future in case you forget your password
- Choose the Home tab, click on Personal Information, then click on Change Security Question
- Select a security question from the pull-down or type your own question
- Type your security answer which is case sensitive and limited to 30 characters
STEP 5 - Change your birth date password
- To access certain higher secure areas of myUFV, you will be asked to change your default password to a personal password only you would know
- Choose a new and different personal password that is exactly six numbers
- Please wait 15 minutes before using your password for the first time
- In the future, you can change your password by choosing the Home tab, clicking on Personal Information, and then clicking on Change Your PIN
Please wait 15 minutes or longer after any myUFV change before you log in again to allow time for the network to synchronize all of your computer accounts.
