What is my University ID (UID) Number?
Your University ID Number is a unique number that identifies you at Illinois State University.
Your UID Number
Your University Identification (UID) Number is a nine-digit number that uniquely identifies you at Illinois State University. Your UID Number is printed on the front of your Redbird Card and is also displayed when you log in to iCampus.
Your UID Number is used for all business internal to the University. For example, your UID Number is used to track your academic progress at Illinois State. You also need your UID Number to activate your ULID account (to get access to email, computer labs, Datastore, etc.). If you forget your password, you'll need your UID Number to reset it.
For questions and assistance with your UID Number, contact the Student Service and Referral Center (SSRC) in Moulton Hall 107 or by phone at (309)438-2188. Or visit the the Office of the University Registrar PIN and UID webpage.
