How To Get A PID
Students
Prospective students will have a PID created upon application or receipt of financial aide information. The way in which students are notified of their PID depends on which admissions office they have applied with. Undergraduates will be notified of their PID when they are sent a letter notifying that they have been accepted. Graduate Schools will notify prospective students that their application has been received. In that notification they will be given their PID and told to use it to check the status of their application on line. Students already having a PID can have it reactivated when they re-enroll. Any student not enrolled in the current semester will receive notice that their ONYEN is no longer active. This status will continue until the student re-enrolls. Student PID problems are resolved by the Student Information Systems Coordinator's Office located in the basement of Hanes Hall. Similarly, Continuing Studies will create a PID for a part-time student. 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.
Any student that is either new, transferring or readmitted to the University will be able to create an ONYEN upon acceptance.
The issuance of a PID does not indicate that you have or will be admitted to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Admissions decisions are communicated only in writing and only by the respective admissions office.
