The University Identification number (UID) is a university-specific identifier that provides increased security with regard to identity theft. Because the Social Security Number (SSN) has meaning beyond its use as a unique person identifier, there is potential for abuse. The UID is a nine-digit number from 800-50-0001 to 879-99-9994.
