At IU, what is a University ID, and how do I find out what mine is?
At IU, all admitted students receive a 10-digit University ID (UID). The Office of Admissions issues your UID in an admission letter via postal mail. For employees, the UID can also be called the Employee ID. If you know your username and passphrase, you can view your UID online; if you don't, see below.
