Virtual Orientation - REQUIRED

WhenWhere

 

Arrive Prepared:

1. Have you activated your Student Account? First Time Activation

2. Do you know your LinkBlue username and password? Reset Password and/or Account Manager 

 

What is the difference?

Student ID Number is important for Campus Services (gymnasium, events, library, etc.).  When you talk with campus staff, they will often ask for this number, and it will be on your UK Student ID Card: Wildcard Information.

LinkBlue Username and Password are important for online services (Campus Wi-Fi, payments in myUK, class grades/assignments/announcements in Canvas, etc.).  Every day you will need these to log in, so either memorize them or save them on your phone.

 

Need technology help?

If you want us to come to the appointment,

"Please add Tiffany.Williams@uky.edu

as I am a limited English speaker."
