Upon Admission, you will be sent a UFV welcome message to your personal (non-UFV) email.
The UFV welcome message contains your student UFV ID (9-digits) and student email address.
Your UFV student email address is your UFV computer account username.
Your UFV student ID (9 digits) will verify and be used to create your initial account passphrase / password.
If you have never logged into any of your UFV accounts, you must create your UFV computer account using a strong password or passphrase.
A password is a short mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, i.e. P@ssw0rd.
A passphrase is a phrase of random but meaningful words, i.e.SunnyDayAtTheBeach.
Using a passphrase is highly recommended as a passphrase is easier for you to remember and more difficult for intruders to guess.
For additional information, go to KB article on choosing a password or passphrase.
When you area ready to create your UFV online account, click the Create passphrase button and follow the onscreen instructions under New Student?
Create passphrase or password
If you have forgotten your password or your UFV account has been locked, click the Reset or Unlock button below and follow the instructions.

When you are ready to setup MFA, click the Setup MFA button and follow the instructions for your type of device.
