Requesting a My Organization Account
All announcements 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. 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.
Posting an Announcement
Once you have been granted access to post and are logged into My Organization, you can post announcements. Note that if you are registered under more than one department, My Organization will ask you to select which department you would like to post for after signing in. To post an announcement, select "Announcements" on the left navigation bar. Then select the "Add" button. You can also choose "Archive" if you want to view past announcements posted by your organization.

Web Administrator Options:
If you are a Web Administrator for your organization, you will be able to add staff members to My Organization as well as give them the ability to post announcements. When a user submits the sign-up form, an e-mail will automatically be sent to notify the department Web Administrator that the person is requesting access.
To add a new staff member to your organization, select the "Staff" button on the left menu. Then choose "Add Staff." You will be prompted to enter information about the new staff member.
Make sure to enter the staff member's valid UCF e-mail address as their My Org ID. Select "Submit" and an e-mail will be sent to the staff member with their My Organization ID and auto-generated password. Next, you must grant the person access to post.
Granting Staff Member Access to Post Announcements
After adding a staff member (as explained in the previous section), choose the "Web Administrator" button on the left navigation bar (note that this button is only available to department Web Administrators). You will see a list of all staff members in your department who have a My Organization account. To grant someone access to post announcements, select the checkboxes under "Announcement" next to their name. Select "Submit Form " and the user's access will be updated.
