Harvard ID Card and PIN
Harvard identification cards are issued to all annual appointees. A Harvard ID number and/or ID card is needed to obtain library privileges (including on-line resources), to use iCommons, to gain access to athletic facilities and museums, to use the Harvard Housing Office, to receive event discounts, etc. As soon as the university's Payroll Office has completed processing an annual appointee's appointment paperwork, the individual can go to the HSPH ID Office (ground floor of the Kresge building) to have his or her photograph taken for the ID card.
The Cambridge ID Office is located in the Campus Services Center on the 8th floor of the Holyoke Center (1350 Massachusetts Avenue) and can be reached by calling 617-495-3322.
Once a Harvard ID number has been issued, new appointees should register for a Personal Identification Number (PIN). On-line university systems and records require use of a PIN. More information and PIN registration is available at http://www.pin.harvard.edu/
