• Get regular STI screening tests.

• If you are a sexually active woman age 24 or younger, get screened each year for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
• All women with new sexual partners or multiple partners should also be screened.

What is a PID?

The Person ID Number (PID) is an identification number assigned to all people with a university relationship, as defined by an official university department. This number is designed to give all persons a universal number (PID or Person ID) that is unique to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The number is nine digits long and replaces all existing card numbers previously used on campus. The PID is the primary record keeping key for all departments within the university and must be used for all communication.

How do I get a PID?

Prospective students will have a PID created upon completion of Guest ID creation. The way in which students are notified of their PID depends on the admissions office with which they have applied. Any student who is either new, transferring or readmitted to the University will be able to create an Onyen upon acceptance.

Undergraduates

To find your PID, go to the PID Lookup page.

Graduate Students

Scythe digital edition download. Graduate Schools will notify prospective students that their application has been received.

How do I reactivate my PID?

Student records become inactive when a student fails to register by the end of the drop/add period for the current spring or fall semester.
