Question
What is my Directory ID/UID Number?
Answer
Directory ID: Faculty, staff, students, sponsored affiliates and associates have a user ID known as Directory ID. This is the alphanumeric ID of up to eight characters obtained/created at account activation. The Directory ID and passphrase grant access to most online services and systems at UMD such as email, ELMS, Testudo, and timesheets.
UID: The University Identification (UID) is the nine digit number which is used for most forms and is printed on your University ID card.
