• PRIOR TO THE START DATE OF YOUR COURSE, you will be able to access UGF's Blackboard Server.
  Go to:   http://ugf.blackboard.com/webapps/login/   and “Login.”
  
  
• You will be prompted for a Username and Password. The format of your new login will be as follows:
  
  Username: your UGF-assigned Student ID printed on your student ID card and/or any system-issued printouts  such as registration confirmations, invoices, grade reports, etc. (Include the @ sign and any leading zeros.)
  
  Temporary Password: system-generated, based on your first initial + Student ID + first two letters of your last name (all lower case).
  
  If you are having trouble finding that information, please contact our Distance Learning Department.
  
  
  Note: You should click "Personal Information" as soon as you log in to change your temporary password to a secure password you will remember in order to protect your privacy.
  
  You should also update your e-mail address to an address you will actually be using for your courses.
