Faculty/Staff Impact

Effective June 1, 2004, Marshall University will move from identifying faculty and staff members with SSN based IDs to using a uniquely generated identification number called the MUID# to help protect individual privacy and confidentiality. This change in business practices is the result of  Dr. Angel's recent directive.

Current Faculty and Staff Members

You will automatically be assigned a new MUID# as part of the conversion.

Applications, like myMU, requiring your current MUID# (typically your SSN) for logon purposes will require your new MUID#.  A MUID# “lookup link” will be provided on the myMU login page so you can quickly find your MUID# when needed.

All employees are assigned an Employee ID, by the state of WV,  when they are hired. This identifier is mainly used for processing within the state-wide EPICS payroll system. For this reason, your Employee Number will not change. The Employee Number will continue to be used on the cover of your payroll direct deposit statement or payroll check.

New Faculty and Staff Members

You will automatically be assigned a MUID# during the application or hiring process.

Instead of using Social Security numbers you will need your new MUID# when applying for services, such as:

• MU ID Card Center – get an ID card and request all other services like the points system
  
  
• Parking Office – apply for a parking permit
  
  
• Computing Services – MUNet and email account activations
  
  
• Library – use library resources
  
  
• Marshall Artist Series – purchase reduced tickets
  
  
• Security access for several buildings on campus
