We present a spectral analysis of the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic OriginsSpectrograph spectrum of the southern VY Scl nova-like variable BB Doradus,obtained as part of a Cycle 20 {\it HST/COS} survey of accreting white dwarfsin cataclysmic variables.  BB Dor was observed with {\it COS} during an intermediate state with a lowmass accretion rate, thereby allowing an estimate of the white dwarftemperature. The results of our spectral analysis show that the white dwarf isa significant far ultraviolet component with a temperature of$\sim$35,000-$\sim$50,000$~$K, assuming a $0.80~M_{\odot}$ WD mass($\log(g)=8.4$). The disk with a mass accretion rate of $\approx10^{-10}~M_{\odot}~$yr$^{-1}$ contributes about 1/5 to 1/2 of the farultraviolet flux.
