What is an Employee ID (EmployeeID) Number?
An employee ID number is the unique 6-digit identification number given to a University of
Colorado employee upon hire. It is not your social security number or Identikey.
Where can I find my employee ID number?
Your employee ID number is printed at the top of each pay advice or check that you receive.
It can also be located in MyCUInfo on the welcome page under MYCUINFO Profile, or the Pay
Advice section under Employee Information on the CU Resources page.
What is a Person of Interest (POI) Number?
A person of interest number is an identification number given to a person who is not employed
by CU Boulder but is in some way affiliated with the University and needs access to a University
service. You must have a POI number on hand before registering for a CITI account.
