UFV student ID number
Your nine-digit student ID number is your unique identifier at UFV, giving you access to university services and information.
A student ID number is assigned to you when you apply to UFV and is included in all letters sent to you by the UFV Office of the Registrar. It is also recorded on your campus ID card, which you are required to obtain at the start of each year.
You’ll need to know your student ID number to log in to myUFV, where you can register for courses, pay fees, access your UFV student email account, and more. Keep your student ID number secure and confidential so that only you can access your student record.
What do I do if I have lost or misplaced my student number?
If you have forgotten or misplaced your student ID number, you can fax or mail a signed request to the Office of the Registrar.
Change of address
You can submit address changes through myUFV or by completing a Personal Information Change (pdf) and submitting it, with a signature, to one of the OReg offices.

Check your myUFV account daily. If you are waitlisted for a course and a seat is available to you, you will receive a notification under your Registration Details as well as an email notification.
