Q: What is my nine-digit identification number (ID)?
A: As part of the ongoing effort to improve security and prevent identity theft, Hollins will be eliminating the use of social security numbers as identification numbers for our campus community. On January 31, 2009, system-generated IDs were created for everyone within the Hollins University community: students, faculty, staff, and alumnae/i. Please contact us by e-mail at alumnae@hollins.edu to verify your 9-digit Hollins ID number. When contacting us, please provide your full name, class year, major, and birth date.

Q: What is my personal identification number (PIN)?
A: Your PIN is usually your birth date in a six-digit format (ex. September 5, 1968 would be 090568). If you are unable to log in, your PIN may have defaulted to the last six digits of your ID number. If you still have trouble logging in, please contact us by e-mail at alumnae@hollins.edu to verify your PIN.
