A Harvard University ID number (HUID) uniquely identifies you within Harvard University. Note that the HUID is not the same as your DCE ID number, which you may use only for Harvard Extension and Summer School online services.
You may see your HUID via online services. After logging in, select Student Information and Status.
Used with your Harvard ID number, your Harvard University PIN provides secure access to many Harvard websites, including the page where you can activate your FAS e-mail and computer account, your Harvard portal pages, Harvard library electronic resources, and Harvard Extension and Summer School online services and password-protected websites, including electronic dropboxes. Note that the Harvard University PIN is different from your 6-digit DCE PIN.
