NLU Student ID Numbers

We have issued student identification numbers to all students. This means that your social security number is not the primary identifier in our administrative computing system.

You are able to retrieve your NLUID number by logging in to your secure account (my.nl.edu). Your NLUID is displayed on the first page you see after you log in. Your NLUID is a nine character number and begins with the letter “N”. An example would be N00456789.

You will need this number for processes or questions concerning registration, financial aid, graduation applications, and other such services.
