How to get a custom Ghost ID

Step-by-step guide

    Default Ghost ID Assignment

    When you register, Campus Ghost automatically assigns a numeric Ghost ID (such as Ghost0129 or Ghost011) to protect your real identity while keeping your persona consistent.

  2. 2

    Requesting a Unique Custom Ghost ID

    If you want a custom or memorable Ghost ID (such as Ghost420, Ghost100, Ghost777, or a custom moniker), you can request it directly from our support team.

  3. 3

    Send an Email to Support

    Send an email to campusghost.official@gmail.com with the subject line '[Custom Ghost ID Request]'. Include your registered email address, current Ghost ID, and your top 3 preferred custom handles.

    Verification & Handle Assignment

    Our team will verify your account and check handle availability. If approved and available, your custom Ghost ID will be assigned to your profile within 24–48 hours.

Tips from the Campus Ghost team

  • Custom Ghost IDs must comply with Community Guidelines and cannot impersonate real individuals or college faculty.
  • Handles are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Make sure to send the request from the email address linked to your registered Campus Ghost account.
