The university uses a ten digit university identification number to identify your permanent records, such as the transcript, registration, grade reports, enrollment certifications, student accounts, etc. This is known as the university i.d. number.

The university does not disclose the student's i.d. Number to individuals or agencies outside Indiana University except in accordance with the Indiana University Policy on Student Records.

Students who apply for financial aid are required by federal law to provide a social security number to the university. While this number is used in the processing of financial aid, it is not the student primary identification number.

While in most cases, students will be able to complete their business with the university through OneStart by use of a user id and password, there may occasions when a student id number may be required. Students may obtain their university id numbers by viewing the View My Personal Information page in OneStart or by bringing photo identification to the Office of the Registrar.

Prior to the Fall of 2004, the university generally used a students social security number as the primary identifier when processing records. Effective with the Fall of 2004, this is no longer the practice. New students should receive their university i.d. Number as part of the admission process.

Students can look up their university i.d. number through OneStart.
