What is the Onyen?
Your Onyen (Only Name You’ll Ever Need) is a unique electronic user ID that you will need to access information and services over the internet. Depending on your program, your Onyen and password may give you access to: • your UNC email account • course registration • grades • UNC shareware • online courses through Blackboard You can create your Onyen as soon as you have your PID (Person ID Number). A PID is a nine-digit number that is assigned to anyone affiliated with the University. You should receive your PID from your department or school after you enroll. You can look up your PID if you have forgotten it. Note: If you do not have a PID, you will need to contact the department with which you are affiliated. They must contact the PID office directly and request a PID creation.
