What is ONID
ONID stands for OSU Network Identifier. Your ONID username is automatically generated and assigned based upon a combination of your last name followed by your first name as listed in University records, and is limited to 8 characters. Your ONID is not the same as your 9-digit OSU ID number.
Due to the volume of users in our system, there are limited circumstances under which you can change your ONID username. You can learn more about the process in our knowledge base.
