FloydianOne:
At the college I used to attend, everyone was given a 8-10 digit number that was deemed "private". When marks were given out, only the last four digits of the number were put on marks sheets taped to the professors door to keep everything confidential (two students in the same class having the same four last numbers was very rare).
Not that the above has any bearing on what you're asking to do directly, but if the numbers are deemed "private" by any means, any unusual activity on your part on the university's web server could be some form of cybercrime.
Watch your testing! If the university's IT department sees their webserver logs and notices that a bunch of hits came to non-existant URLs (typos in your program perhaps, or IDs that haven't had their web-space activated?), they could start an investigation, landing you in hot water.
manalone posted a great link. The only thing I will add is: "be careful".
