To All Newly Enrolled International Students

Have you received your Student ID (SID) number.
If so where did you get it from?
I myself had to go through a roundabout process of calling admissions, international affairs, Tech Support, etc. I have still not received my SID number. They say I should email the tech desk, which I have but it takes 2-5 days to get a response, and they also say that I should have gotten my SID as a replacement for my SSN in my application.

The reason I’m concerned is that I/we require it to get our University Directory ID to schedule our orientation date and other nitty gritty information.
Have any of you already received your Directory ID?
Help please.
