Indiana University creates a unique 10-digit identifier called a University ID (UID) for each student and employee to maintain the privacy of Social Security numbers. Your UID is typically included in your admission letter, and you can find it by logging into One.IU and going to the University ID Lookup section under Personal Information and Demographic Information. If you are a current student, you can also use the Student Self-Service University Lookup Form to find your UID. This number is essential for creating your IU computing and email accounts and accessing various services and resources during your time at Indiana University.

University ID and Social Security number
Your Indiana University ID is a unique, 10-digit number that the university uses to identify you in its records. It is not your Social Security number (SSN). To find your university ID number, log in to One.IU and go to University ID Lookup. You'll find your ID under "Personal Information" in the "Demographic Information" section.
Your SSN is separate from your university ID and is necessary to determine your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and other financial aid programs. While you are not required to disclose your SSN, refusing to do so will prevent you from receiving federal financial aid. The last four digits of your SSN may be used for admission applications, course enrollment documents, certification requests, and permanent academic records.
You can add or update your SSN by logging into One.IU and going to SSN/educational tax credit verification. If you are unable to change your SSN, you can upload a scan or photo of your Social Security card through the secure contact form. Under "Topic," choose "Student Records," and then "Update Name or Profile." If you cannot use the Central Authentication Service (CAS) to authenticate your record, any documents you send must be notarized. Changes generally occur within a day and will appear on your official academic record.
Note: If you are a student employee, you must contact Financial Management Services at 812-855-0375 to update your SSN.
