1. Do you have a UGA MyID?
Great! Continue on to step 2, Logging into the UGAMail portal.
Your UGA MyID is the sign-on name that students, faculty, and staff use to access online services at UGA, including UGAMail, eLC, MyUGA, and other services.
Each MyID requires a strong password and “security questions”.
Strong passwords must be:
- 8-16 characters long
- Contains at least one special character (!, $, #, %, <, etc....)
- May not contain spaces or your MyID
You must change this password at least once every 6 months (you will get reminder emails one month prior to expiration).
You will receive an email at the address you provided with a confirmation of your request. You will need to wait 15 to 30 minutes for the system to create your account and grant you access.
