Undergraduate Applicants

Freshman and Transfer Applicants, excluding Non-Degree Seeking students and International students, receive their UB information to activate (claim) their UBITName in two separate letters.

Your UB Information

Your UB information consists of 3 pieces of information:

  • Your UB Person Number, an 8-digit hyphenated ID number found at the bottom of your Application Acknowledgement letter, which is sent to you in postal mail.
  • Your UBITName, which is your UB username, located on the cover letter of the packet you receive from UB in postal mail
  • Your single-use password, a one-time-use password located on the cover letter of the same packet in which you receive your UIBITName.
