What is Directory ID?

A Directory ID is an alphanumeric value that defines a user identity for many services and IT resources at the University. It defines the users email address and may be used, in combination with a password, to log into University systems. The Directory ID is limited to 8 characters/numbers and is generally the first initial and part of the last name of an individual. The Directory ID is available for reuse 12 months after a faculty member, staff or affiliate is no longer actively affiliated with the University. Beginning May 2005, registered students who leave the University can keep their Directory ID for an extended period of time. In the past, Directory ID was sometimes referred to as LDAP ID.
