Guidelines for Use of the Student Identification Number (SSN)

  • Applications for admission or readmission will contain enhanced information about the submission, use and  publication of the student social security number.
  • All major student service offices are encouraged to install card readers to input SID's into the information systems.
  • Offices should, when possible, use Name inquiry in lieu of the SID.
  • Workstations should be configured to protect the display of student information to the general public.
  • Remove the SID and replace it with alternate identifier on all reports and forms.
  • Use alternate identifiers for test scoring or computing processes.
