A MyID is a set of account credentials (username and password) used for accessing many UGA services, such as:
-
UGAMail (must add @uga.edu to MyID; e.g. uga12345@uga.edu)
-

Who can use MyID services?
MyIDs are for individuals who are actively affiliated with the University of Georgia, including:

If you fall into one of these groups, your MyID will be assigned to you at some point during your application, enrollment or employment process. You cannot change your MyID.
