uhUuid

Description

The UH Number (often referred to as "Employee ID", "Student ID", or "UH ID")

Each person affiliated with the University is assigned a single UH Number.  For example, person who is in both the University HR system and the Student Information System have just one UH Number that will be common to both.  In the rare circumstance that a person is accidentally issued a second UH Number, the duplicate is removed and retired to prevent reassignment.

The UH Number must *never* be used as a shared secret for authentication, authorization, or otherwise utilized such that a student (or anyone for that matter) would have to worry about it falling into the wrong hands and getting misused. See UH Number FAQ for more information.
