A BlazerID is a computer login name that UAB is deploying across campus. It’s roughly equivalent to the screen name or user name you may have used to access online services such as Yahoo!, America Online, or MSN.
It’s essential that you obtain a BlazerID as soon as you are admitted because a number of computer services around UAB currently require a BlazerID for login, and several others will begin using it in the near future. The goal is to have your BlazerID serve as the sole identifier that allows you to access all of UAB’s online information services and portals securely.
You may obtain a BlazerID by completing the request form online at www.uab.edu/blazerid.
UAB provides e-mail for every student through the BlazerID. If you are not using your UAB e-mail account as your primary e-mail, you need to check your UAB e-mail regularly because you will receive information from your department, the Graduate School, and other UAB support areas at that address.
A few other services that your BlazerID provides is access to most departmental computer labs, WebCT online courses, class mailing lists, online registration, and tuition payment.
