<p>I just placed my deposit and went to create a Uniqname for WA so I could do the housing application but it says I need a OTID. Where do I get my OTID number?</p>
<p>Note: I just placed my deposit online like 10 min ago</p>
<p>I think that might refer to your umich ID. Just a guess but try it.
Cheers,

<p>Can’t be, because the box above it asks for UMID. and I just tried and it didn’t work :(</p>
<p>I believe that refers to the “one time id” that they send to you. I think there was a letter inviting my D to create her uniquename account with it in and then later a follow up email.</p>
<p>how long after she paid the deposit did she get the OTID?</p>
<p>From what I’ve read, the email with information regarding creating a Uniqname comes a day after you pay your deposit online.</p>
<p>If you paid by mail, it’ll take around 2 weeks.</p>
<p>alright thanks :D</p>
<p>I got the OTID in an email 2 days after I put the deposit. If you just put the deposit in, you need to wait 2 days.</p>
