UCFID and NID

What are my UCFID and NID?

UCFID:
Your UCFID is your Personal Identification Number. Your UCFID is the key of accessing online registration, class schedule searches, adding or dropping classes, and a lot of other functions, including viewing your grades and fee schedules. You will be asked to select a password when you first are assigned your UCFID. You may change your password at any time.

NID:
Your NID is your Network Identification Number. Your NID is the key to accessing the UCF computer network, the Internet, the library, and a world of cyber information. This number is also generated for you when you become a student at UCF for the first time. Again, you need to select and register a password which you may change at any time.
