Your ID and Personal Accounts

ÎÞÂëרÇøID (U Number)

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

The ÎÞÂëרÇøID is used for academic, business and administrative transactions requiring an ID. The ÎÞÂëרÇøID 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 ÎÞÂëרÇø. It will be permanently and uniquely recognized by Student Self-Service throughout the student's academic career in ÎÞÂëרÇø undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
