You may use your Hawk ID, University ID number or Student Identification Card to identify yourself when communicating with your advisor or other university personnel.

University ID

All UI students are assigned an eight-digit identification number. Your number is unique and protects your identity and student records. You will be asked to provide your UI ID number by your advisor and other University personnel. To find your ID number please log in to: MyUI.

For your security and privacy, when communicating with UI faculty and staff, please use only your University ID number and NOT your Social Security Number.
