Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAVID (U Number)

(Example: #U12345678) The Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAVID is your unique ID number at Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV. Your Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAVID helps the University provide you with services and helps to safely identify you without the need to disclose your Social Security Number to others. Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAVID numbers are originally given to you via email in your acceptance letter.

The Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAVID is used for academic, business and administrative transactions requiring an ID. The Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAVID is randomly generated within the University's student information system (Student Self-Service), is not derived from any personally identifiable student data, and appears in the format 'U########'. The letter 'U' followed by an eight-digit number is issued only once and remains the student's official primary identifier with Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV. It will be permanently and uniquely recognized by Student Self-Service throughout the student's academic career in Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
