As of June 2021, all newly issued Student ID cards will include a Student ID number rather than an APID. Students with a Student ID card issued with an APID can convert their APID to a Student ID number by simply replacing the “A” with a “1” (e.g., A23456789 -> 123456789). The Student ID number also displays on the “My Profile” tile in student.msu.edu.

For employees, the new SIS also assigns a unique system identification number, often called an “EmplID.” If you are an MSU alumni, your ID will be your old student ID number. Otherwise, it will be a randomized number automatically assigned. This system ID is used only in SIS and is not the same as a ZPID, which is a separate employee tracking number.
