Keep your address current to receive important insurance and university mailings

To ensure you receive important communications— particularly relating to fall benefits open enrollment—make sure your home and work addresses are up-to-date in the myUFL systems by completing the following steps:

Log on to the myUFL portal with your GatorLink username and password. (Call 392-HELP if you don’t know your GatorLink username or password.)

1. Click “My Account” in the myUFL systems menu.
2. Select “Update My Directory Profile.”
   Once you are on the Gatordex Self Service page, you may modify the appropriate address information by clicking on the orange hyperlinked text that reads “Addresses and Phone Numbers.”
3. To modify an address select the radio button for Permanent Home Mailing Address and/or UF Business Mailing Address and hit submit.  Make the necessary change, and hit submit again. 
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Foreign nationals are required to maintain a foreign address for tax purposes and therefore should not modify the Permanent Home Mailing Address which is reserved for the foreign address. Instead, the Local Home Mailing Address field should be used for the local address. Questions regarding foreign addresses or tax implications should be directed to the Tax Services Office at 392-1324.  
4. If Permanent Home Mailing Address or UF Business Mailing Address is not available, you must add the address by clicking on “Add New Address and Related Phone Numbers” found in the menu options located at the top left of the page.
5. Fill in your updated address information and click “submit” at the bottom of the page to complete the address change.

In preparation for open enrollment, the state of Florida usually captures address information around July to August; therefore, it’s important to make sure your address is current so that you do not miss any important mailings.

Contact your directory administrator or the UF Help Desk at 392-HELP or helpdesk@ufl.edu with questions pertaining to the UF Directory.

Important Reminder: Continue to monitor insurance deductions

To help prevent potential problems and a possible lapse in coverage, please continue to monitor your biweekly paychecks to ensure that proper insurance deductions are being taken.
