Credentials Sent by OIT: OIT delivers your academic keys—user credentials (username, UB email address, and password). These digital keys unlock Banner, your academic dashboard; Moodle, the gateway to online learning; UB email, your academic communication hub; and the virtual doors to university computers.

Parental Insights and Student Unveiling: The first night of events is an evening of information for parents, followed by a orientation day for students.

It’s a blend of learning, laughter, and embracing the unique UB Mingoe spirit!
Buckle up, Freshman! Your journey is not just about textbooks and classrooms; it’s about discovering your academic self, making lifelong connections, and embarking on a new adventure. Welcome to the UB family! The stage is set, and the playbook is in your hands. Seize every moment, conquer every challenge, and sculpt the masterpiece that is your UB journey.
