Add your personal email address to your myUFV account
Employees or students can add a personal email address to their myUFV account which can be used for easy self-serve password reset for their myUFV account. Personal email address can be anything including Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or other 3rd party email account.
Steps to add a personal email address
1. Login to myUFV at myufv.ca using your UFV email address and password.
2. Click on Update your Information button located on Personal Information card.
3. Under Email, you may see 1 or 2 email addresses listed.
Preferred – Your preferred address should read your UFV Student or Employee email address.
Personal - This could be a Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, or other 3rd party email account.

For this reason, it is important to enter a valid personal email address that you can access.
Note: If there is only a preferred email address listed, this means you have not set up a personal email address in myUFV.
