Blazer ID
Your Blazer ID is vitally important to you while at UAB. It serves as part of your email address, allows you access to your important personal information like your paystub information, and you use it to register for classes. Setting up a Blazer ID is one of the first things you must do. It opens the portals of UAB to you.
For example, if your UAB email address is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , your Blazer ID is going to be jdoe. The Blazer ID is everything before the @uab.edu.
To set up your Blazer ID, go to https://padlock.dpo.uab.edu/blazerid.html, and follow the instructions.
Please keep in mind that you should choose a professional Blazer ID/email. Keep email addresses like "sexyme" for your personal/private email accounts.
