[UFID] Obtain U.F. GatorLink Email Address

You will be eligible to receive a GatorLink Account which will include all its central services.

To create a GatorLink account, simply visit https://login.ufl.edu and click on the link that reads ‘GatorLink Account Creation’. You will need to have your 8-digit UFID number. To find out what your UFID is, visit http://www.it.ufl.edu/ufid/ and retrieve your UFID via Social Security Number & date of birth.

Once your GatorLink account and password are created, we strongly suggest that you set or store a Password Hint in the system. This will allow you to reset your password anytime that you forget it by answering a difficult question you set.

The GatorLink account creation process can take up to 1 hour, so please wait at least 1 hour prior to accessing any GatorLink authenticated sites.

You will have 2 emails at UF. One will be your GatorLink account (@ufl.edu) and one would be your Department email (@department.ufl.edu). If your department assigns a departmental email to you, be sure to forward your GatorLink email to that address.
After waiting the needed 1 hour period, you will need to set up your GatorLink mailbox and your email Forwarding. You can access both of these links by logging into https://my.ufl.edu.  After logging in, go to the ‘My Account’ link and click on either ‘Modify My UF Business Email’ or ‘Set GatorLink Email Forwarding’.

If you need any assistance with your GatorLink account or services, please contact the UF Computing Help Desk at 392-HELP.
