Social Security Number

A student’s social security number is confidential and will not be used for identification except for the purposes of employment, financial aid, transcripts, assessment/accountability research, or as otherwise required by state or federal law. In compliance with Public Law 93-579 and SB 5509, disclosure of a social security number is optional. If a student chooses not to provide it, he/she will not be denied any rights or benefits as a student. Students must provide their social security number to the admissions office for financial aid, and for the HOPE and Lifetime Learning Tax Credit.
