My sister says that a UP student never forgets their student number. While a student of the university, the student number is as important as the Social Security number of an American. How long has it been since you graduated from UP and do you remember your student number? I do. :)

My student number starts with 94-XXXXX. Of course I still remember it. I still have my ID also. I still remember my 1st day as a freshman and they said to never forget your student number. I recall it much more easily compared to my SSS number or my TIN.

i still remember my student number. it has been 4 years now since i graduated from up manila, i bet i will never forget my student number even after so many years. i can remember mine (00-*****) clearly than my ss number.
at work, i often ask for student number of my officemates instead of their employee number, making myself a laughing stock of the hour while someone would tell me, "you still has hang-over from your school huh?!"
of course, "student number?" had always been the question of the day back then.

I am a fresh graduate but whenever I ask my professors or other alumni they still remember it too.Well I think the reason why we never forget our student numbers is that the moment we stepped into UP is that every transaction that we make would require us to write it. Imagine during enrollments how many times must you write your student number? Whenever it's the first meeting in class how many times does the prof ask for your student number? Also when you do your projects you always write your student number. So all of those maybe even more multiplied by four or five years of stay in the University would really imprint that in your mind never to be erased ever.

Hi! I'm a UPLB graduate and yep, I still remember my student number despite the 15 years that has already passed since graduation :p
I guess it's imbedded in every student's mind because without it, you'll never know how you did in an exam or if you made it to the top 10. I still remember how everyone would crowd around posted results with only the student numbers and the grades on them :) That's a great way to avoid letting everyone know you got the lowest grade if ever LOL

I still remember my student number. It's 2000-***** :) My dad, who's also from UP, still knows his student number too. And he graduated in the '70s.

I've never forgotten it yet because I'm still having transaction with the university until now. I think its better if you contact the registrar and have the name of your sister be searched on the registry.

Yes I still do. Funny even if I don't get to write it down in forms as often as I used to (back in school) I could still recite in a heartbeat!

I have been working for so many years since graduation. I cannot remember my student number at all. But if I were to be a student again, I think, I would try to remember it to tell the number. lol
