More than 2,000 faculty and staff members and about 10,000 students still are using UNT identification cards that contain their social security number instead of their EIS-generated random ID number (or EMPL ID).
ID cards containing social security numbers will be deactivated in early spring, as UNT continues its efforts to protect private information. All community members with ID cards that were issued prior to April 2004 must replace their ID cards to maintain access to UNT facilities, including the libraries, residence halls, health center, computer labs and recreational center.
ID cards can be replaced at no charge by bringing the current ID card or a driver's license to ID Systems. Employees at the UNT Dallas campus or other locations can contact ID Systems to arrange for alternative methods to replace ID cards.
ID Systems is open from 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Eagle Student Services Center, room 105.
ID Systems has attempted to e-mail all individuals with cards that need replacing, but faculty and staff members are asked to help inform students that they may need a new UNT ID card.
In April 2004, with the implementation of EIS, the university began using EMPL IDs for all students and employees. This allows UNT to better protect personal information, since these random ID numbers are used instead of social security numbers in the information system and on UNT ID cards.
For more information, contact Michael McElroy, ID Systems assistant, at (940) 565-3225 or email at McElroy@fis.admin.unt.edu.
