Graduate Student Resources

Visit UBNET. Creating your UBNet ID provides access to the myUB portal, Canvas, Web Advisor, UB mail (available after registering for classes), financial aid package, your schedule, grades, and university notifications. You will need your student ID number in order to create your UBNet ID. This number is available on your acceptance letter. If you already have a UBNET account you do not need to make a new one, you will use the same username and password. Questions? Visit the UBNet Knowledge base.

Admitted students should work with their academic advisor on registration. Students should reach out to admissions to connect them with their advisors.
