The Office of Parent and Family Services is excited to launch a new Family Portal to enhance your UAB experience. This new portal is launching Monday, August 19, and will allow you to customize information you receive from UAB based on your interests and will be delivered at the frequency you would like to receive communications from UAB. In the coming months you will also be able to view your student’s grades, class schedules and check their account balance all through a single platform.

Due to the new platform, e-newsletters from the UAB Office of Parent and Family Services will now be customized to include information relevant to you. You can set the frequency of how often you would like updates, as well as log on log on at any time to view account changes. Beginning on Monday, August 19 you can register and create your UAB Family Hub by visiting www.uab.edu/families and clicking on the “Family Portal” icon. Simply create a new account using your email. If you do not register, your email will be automatically imported of the next few days. You will receive a welcome email with instructions on how to complete the registration process.

One of the greatest features of this portal is that everything you need is now in one centralized location. You will receive additional emails during the fall semester about integrating your account with your student’s records.  Your student will still have to grant you access to their account, but with that said, this is a parent of family-member initiated request, and is much easier for your student to grant. The Parent/Guardian access through Blazer Net will still be active through the fall and spring semester.

The goal of the family portal is the make things easier on you. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please let us know.

Kindly,

Meredith Kahl
