How to find your Brightspace Username - student

UL will send you an email containing your username for accessing Brightspace. The subject line of the email varies by organization, for example, University of Limerick: Enrollment Confirmation. If you did not receive an email with this information, log a call with ITD (I.T Department in UL)

In addition to your username, the email contains a link to set up a password and a link to log in to Brightspace.

Tips:

  • The email address you should check is the same email address that UL account is associated with. For example, in UL a student email is studentnumber@studentmail.ul.ie
  • The subject line of the email varies by organization. For example, the subject line might be: University of Limerick: Enrolment Confirmation.
  • Passwords must be between 14 and 50 characters. It is recommended that you create a new 14+ character password (passphrases with three unrelated words or a meaningful sentence are highly recommended). For full details, see the UL Password Standards on the Policy and Procedures section of the ITD website.
  • To easily access Brightspace in the future, it is recommended bookmarking the log in page in your favourite browser.
