PID Frequently Asked Questions
Q. If my PID is printed on the OHIO ID card, can't someone gain access to my personal information?
A. Knowing your PID does not necessarily give anyone access to your personal OHIO information. Services that pertain to your personal records should always require positive physical identification or, if you are using an electronic service, the use of your Ohio ID and password. Be sure, however, to safeguard your card and your password to prevent unauthorized use.
Q. Am I permitted to use PIDs in e-mail correspondence with students or other faculty?
A. Yes. The PID can be used in e-mail correspondence with students or other faculty.
Q. Will the University update its systems, forms, and procedures to adopt the new PID?
Q. What do I do if a student or employee doesn't know their new PID?
A. Individuals who know their Ohio ID and password can look their PID up online at https://portal.finance.ohiou.edu/mypid.
