Body
The University of Georgia Identification Number (UGAID) is a unique identification number that is issued to students, faculty, and staff. The UGAID is used as a university replacement for your Social Security Number (SSN).
Your UGAID is the 9-digit number beginning with "810" or "811" that appears on your UGA OneCard.
How do I find my UGAID?
You can find your UGAID on your UGA OneCard or you can contact the EITS Help Desk.
Is my UGAID number considered sensitive? Does it need protection?
Students:
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations apply to your UGAID, and UGA does not define the UGAID as Directory Information. Therefore, your UGAID is considered private. It should and will not be included in directories, posted with grades, or otherwise made public without your permission.
Units, Departments, and Colleges:
An individual's UGAID should be considered sensitive and protected according to university policy. A student or employee's UGAID should never be disclosed or published publicly without first obtaining the individual's permission to do so.
When transmitting UGAID information, EITS recommends using a secure tool like sendfiles.uga.edu rather than sending it in an email. SendFiles has privacy and security features that can help reduce the risk of inadvertent disclosure, such as the ability to truly recall a misdirected message.
How do I find out more about UGAID privacy and security requirements?
Please direct your UGAID related questions to the EITS Help Desk.
