How to Obtain a University of Michigan Identification Number
What are the benefits of registering for an identification number?
Indicating your University of Michigan ID on your application and supporting documents allows your records to be matched and processed more quickly!
Do you need a U-M ID#? If yes, before sending your academic record/transcript:
- Create your ApplyWeb account
- Complete pages 1-5 of the application
- On page 5 of the application click the “Request a U-M ID#” link
- You will receive confirmation by email that your request is being processed
- You will receive your U-M ID# in approximately 10 business days
If You Need to Apply and You Have Not Received Your University of Michigan ID
If your program’s deadline date is within 10 days and you have not received a U-M ID#, submit your official academic records/transcripts to Rackham with your date of birth and the name of the program to which you are applying. You do not need to wait to receive your U-M ID# to apply by your program’s deadline date.
The U-M ID# is not required to submit the online application, however it is helpful in expediting the process.
Notifications
You will receive two e-mails after you register.
- The acknowledgement e-mail will be sent to you shortly after registering.
- The second e-mail, which contains your U-M ID#, will be sent to you within 10 business days.
