Student & Staff UID Systems

North Carolina Department of Public Instruction

About the UID Systems

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) uses a statewide Unique Identifier (UID) System that enables public school units (PSUs) to assign a UID for every student and staff member who participates in the NC education system at any point in time. The UID System enables reliable matching of records over time and across NCDPI applications, and UIDs remain valid even if students and staff members move to a different North Carolina public school. The UID System is built on the eScholar Uniq-ID® product.
