myUCF Grades

Introduction:

Your professor has chosen to use a grade posting program called myUCF Grades to keep you informed of grades as they become available. Your grades will
only be visible to you (likewise, you should not see any one else’s grades but your own). It is a module (commonly called a “pagelet”) that you can add
to myUCF. This grade posting system is independent of other web-based grade posting systems such as WebCT. This tutorial is optional–if you already
know how to add the Grades module to myUCF, feel free to do so instead of reading the step-by-step instructions here.

Important Features:

• Your professor will need to “release” the grades to students. If you log in but cannot see the grades you expect to find, most likely your professor is not yet ready to release the grades to you. It is also possible that your professor is not using myUCF Grades to report grades to your class. Contact your instructor to further discuss specifics and your academic performance.
• Official rosters auto-populate the Grades module; therefore, there should be no additional steps required by you or your instructor for your grades to be visible to you once the professor has “released” the grades to students.

Locate myUCF Grades:

1. Open your browser and type this URL: my.ucf.edu.
2. The login at the top left asks for your PID (which you can look up just below if you don.t know it) and your password.
3. If you have never logged in before, your default password consists of an uppercase “P” – followed by your birthdate in the form of YYMMDD (Example: using the YYMMDD format, enter P600413 for April 13, 1960.). You may change your password after your first login.
4. myUCF is a “portal” that lets you access multiple programs with just that one login you have already completed. Once the page loads, look across the tabs at the top. The right-side tab will be labeled “Online Course Tools.” Click on that tab.
5. As the next page loads, several boxes will appear that will automatically populate with information if you are enrolled in any of them. The myUCF Grades box is the third one down, and the classes you’ve enrolled in should be displayed (note: this will only appear after the add/drop period has ended for the term).
6. Click the desired course, and all grades that have been electronically posted for you in that course should appear. If the column headings do not make sense, you may want to ask your instructor to alter them so that they are more clear.
