Getting Your UBIT Name

To have your UBIT name created, you will first need to register for a course. Since most registration is done online, and you can not access the online system without a username, you will need to register through our phone based system called BIRD. For information regarding BIRD, please go to the following URL:

Twenty four hours after registering for a course, your UBIT name will be created automatically. To locate your UBIT name, please go to our directory listing and find the default e-mail address that is created for you. The first portion of the e-mail address before the @ symbol is your UBIT name. The URL for the directory listing can be found here:

Your default password should follow this algorithm:

first four (4) digits of your birthday
followed by the last six (6) digits of the UBCARD number.

The UBCARD number is the number below your photo on your UBCARD NOT your person number. Let's, for example, say the UBCARD number is: 0000 0000 0012 3456 And let's say your birthday is: January 19, 1980

So the password would be: 0119123456

To obtain your UBcard, you will need to go to the card office. There are two card offices in UB. The North Campus card office is located at 101 The Commons 520 Lee Entrance #101. This building shares its space with the more visible Starbucks cafe on Putnam Way. The North Campus Card Office's phone number is (716) 645-6344.

The South Campus card office is in Harriman Hall Room 102. Their phone number is (716) 829-3682.
