BlazerNET – UAB’s Student Portal
BlazerNET is the online portal for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s student network, and offers a variety of services for student and faculty members. From making payments and registering for classes to requesting transcripts and accessing your mail, you can get what you need right here. It’s easy to use, and you’ll feel confident relying on it to keep you connected to your school.
Register for a BlazerID
For UAB students, there are several online services that require a BlazerID. For example, Canvas is the learning management system and Destiny enrollment platform. It is also used for online registration. However, it is not available to non-UAB students.
Before you start, you should be sure to complete the Activate Accounts page. If you fail to do so, you may not be able to access your personal computer or e-mail account.
When you get to the Activate Accounts page, you will need to enter your BlazerID. You will then be prompted to input your password. The password must contain at least eight characters. A number, a numeral, and some punctuation are also acceptable.
If you have any trouble creating your password, you can go to the Need Help link. Otherwise, you can request assistance from a staff member at One Stop Student Services or your advisor’s office.
Manage your direct deposit
Are you looking for a one stop shop to manage your direct deposit, and other financial obligations? If so, you have come to the right place. In a nutshell, BlazerNET provides all the basics for checking accounts, loans, and credit cards, albeit in a secure online environment. What sets BlazerNET apart from your average bank is its customer service and a willingness to work with you to find the best solution for your financial needs. It is a great way to keep your money in your wallet and avoid overdrafts. The staff at BlazerNET can also assist you with any questions you may have. Using BlazerNET for your financial needs has never been easier. Just make sure you have your bank or credit card information handy.
Access your mail
The name BlazerNET may be a mouthful, but registering for an account is well worth the effort. Once you are logged on, you’ll find that a lot of the features on the site are geared towards students. While this may sound like a swell way to spend your evenings, there are a number of privacy concerns that come into play. One of these is the security of your personal records. For starters, a hacker can post bogus information into the BlazerID databases. In addition, identity theft is a scourge that can’t be ignored. Luckily, BlazerNET has an online security center that can help you bolster your defenses.
To keep your BlazerNET credentials secure, it pays to take the time to set up a password that is unique and hard to crack. This is especially important if you are using your BlazerNET username and password to access other parts of the UAB network. A good rule of thumb is to never use the same username and password for a number of different sites.
Make payments
If you are a student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham you are likely familiar with BlazerNET, the portal that allows you to make payments, submit your financial aid paperwork, and receive important payment reminders. You can also pay with a check, credit card, or via the One Stop office. Besides being a convenient way to handle your finances, it can be a useful way to learn more about your budget and educational options. In addition, if you are in one of the first professional programs, you may be eligible for a refund. As a matter of fact, this refund policy applies to the entire term, not just those in the graduate program.
To use BlazerNET, you need to log into your account. To do so, visit your student profile page and click on Manage Direct Deposit. This will bring you to a page with an easy to follow guide to signing up for direct deposit.
Ask a Blazer
Ask a Blazer is a website and support group for UAB students. It was founded in fall 2012 by a group of UAB students. This site provides a number of resources for new students including information on campus buildings, campus abbreviations, and a map. As well, it gives students access to a variety of support services and faculty volunteers.
If you are new to UAB or are a returning student, the Blazer Welcome Program offers a wide array of activities and resources to help you make your time at UAB a success. These resources include an orientation program, an academic planning system, and a map of campus. The tents on campus the first two days of classes will be available to answer any questions you may have.
