Campus-Wide Identification (CWID)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the campus-wide-ID number (CWID)?

The campus-wide-ID number (CWID) is a 9-digit number beginning with "8".

Why does the campus still require me to provide my social security number?

There are still many processes including tax reporting that require the campus to know and store your social security number.

What credentials does a student use to access the Student Portal?

All new students are assigned a CWID and PIN which is used to log on to the Student Portal for the first time.

After logging on, the new student is directed to the TITAN Portal Profile Update page to select a personalized username and password. Once this is done, the personalized username and password is used in place of the CWID and PIN for logging on to the Student Portal. The CWID is also used by the student when doing business with the campus.

Does my TitanCard contain my CWID or SSN?

It contains neither. Your TitanCard only contains a 16-digit ISO number.

How can a person find out the value of their own CWID?

The CWID Lookup page allows user to receive his CWID after supplying a SSN, last name, and birthdate.
