Social Security Numbers

The Federal Privacy Act of 1974 requires that you be notified that disclosure of your Social Security Number is mandatory based on university regulations. Your SSN is used to ensure an accurate academic record and to provide full access to all services, such as financial aid. Your SSN will not be used as your primary University identification number. If you are unable to provide a Social Security Number, the university will assign an alternative number to you. This will not impact the admission decision.
