UIN is the common acronym for Universal Identification Number. The UIN is a system-controlled digital identity that plays a major role in individual and federated identity and access management across the A&M System.
UINs were established in 2003 with the goal of uniquely identifying people in the system’s technology systems, eliminating the use of the Social Security Number (SSN) as an identifier, and to provide improved privacy for individuals and better conformance with federal laws regarding use of the SSN.
