Many interactions with a university, campus, or unit program in the U of I System—no matter how brief they were—result in a UIN being created. UINs are generated or retrieved for:

  • Persons who apply for admission to the universities at Chicago, Springfield, and Urbana-Champaign
  • Paid employees
  • Unpaid employees
  • Persons working at UI Health through a staffing agency
