your three initials (ACS substitutes the letter "N" where there is no middle initial)

[f]

your first initial

[m]

your middle initial

[123456]2

the first six characters of your last name

NOTES:

  1. If there is someone on Campus with the same three initials as you who already has access to the mainframe and/or Sybase, the "[yyy]" portion of your ID (per the ACS standard) will be your first initial, then your last initial, then the next available numeral, starting with the numeral 1.

  2. If there is someone on Campus with the same first and middle initials as you (and whose first six characters of their last name is the same as yours) who already has a Unity account, the last character of your last name in the "[123456]" portion of your Unity ID (per the IT standard) will be substituted with the next available numeral, starting with the numeral 1.
