The overarching goal of this study, is to create a longitudinally followed, well phenotyped cohort of patients with UC starting treatment with tofacitinib in the setting of standard of care who have linked clinical data and self-reported outcome data that will lead to evaluation of efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in the real-life setting. The specific aims for the study are: 1. Create a prospective cohort of well phenotyped (proctitis vs. rectosigmoiditis vs. extensive) adult UC patients with serial clinical and patient-reported data collected throughout the course of 12 months of tofacitinib therapy. Enrolled patients on therapy will be followed up to 36 months after the start of therapy. 2. To determine clinical response rates and persistence of therapy with tofacitinib for induction and maintenance therapy 3. Describe the incidence of specific drug-associated adverse events (shingles, serious infections), hospitalizations and surgeries in the standard of care setting. 4. Assess the correlation of various outcome measures in ulcerative colitis (Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI), partial Mayo index, 6-point index) and endoscopic outcomes via the endoscopic Mayo Score
