Getting Started in MyUWF

MyUWF, the university web portal, contains UWF online services, university announcements, and other university information. Log into MyUWF at my.uwf.edu. Understanding the layout of MyUWF and using the Search features will allow you to quickly find what you need. Review the information below and take time to familiarize yourself with the MyUWF Tour.

1. MyUWF Default Home Items
   A core set of services for your role(s) (student, faculty, etc.) appears on the home page by default and cannot be removed. Starring a default app moves it to the top of the Home Items list. Gmail for Faculty & Staff is an example.
   
   
2. A to Z Index
   The searchable Index contains those online services that are specific to your role as an employee. The information you see will differ depending on whether you are faculty or staff. Services that you frequently access can be added to your MyUWF home page items by clicking the star next to the app. Locate the Training Reservation Desk to make a reservation or the Campus Directory of departments, organizations, and people.
   
   
3. Collections
   The A to Z Index contains several collections of services. Any tool in the collection, if starred, appears at the top of the list of your home page items.

In the apps list, the app icon will display a numbered badge indicating the number of items waiting for your action.



6. Featured
   New and timely apps are Featured on the home page and highlighted in the app listing. Look for grades to be featured once they are posted, and parking permits to be featured when it's time to renew.
