To access valuable information, UFT emails and online forms on the UFT website, you must have a UFT.org account. Setting up a UFT.org account and joining the union are two separate processes. Start by visiting uft.org/register. If you are not a union member, you can enroll online once you have created a UFT.org account.
Please note: You must use a personal email (not a DOE or a school-related email address) when creating a UFT.org account.
To set up an account:
- Go to UFT.org and click Sign Up (top right corner)
- Create a New Account
- Follow the steps to create a new account - Validate your email
- Check your personal email and click the link you were sent - Log back in to UFT.org account with your username or email and password
- Click My Account (top right)
- Here you can join the union, verify your identity, join the Welfare Fund and/or order movie tickets
