Requesting a My Organization Account
All announcements or events appearing on the UCF Web site and in the daily "Good Morning UCF" e-Newsletter must be entered through My Organization. UCF departments and organizations each have a Web Administrator that can grant their staff members access to post through My Organization.
In order to request access, you will first need to complete the sign-up form found at: http://www.ucf.edu/pls/CDWS/w3_mydept_request_password. The form will require you to enter your name, a valid UCF e-mail address, phone number, and the department or organization that you are affiliated with.
After Sign-up/Logging In
Once you submit the sign-up form, an e-mail will be sent to notify your department Web Administrator that you are requesting My Organization access. Once the Web Administrator adds you as a staff member into My Organization, an e-mail will automatically be sent to you with your My Organization user ID and password. The Web Administrator for your department will also need to grant you access to post announcements and events. If you have questions about your My Organization access, contact your department Web Administrator.
To log into My Organization, enter your ID and password on the My Organization sign-in page.
Forgotten Password
If you forget your My Organization password, you can have it sent to you by filling out the sign-up form at: http://www.ucf.edu/pls/CDWS/w3_mydept_request_password. Enter your name, e-mail address and department for your existing My Organization account. Submit the form and the system will automatically e-mail your password to you.
