Social Security Number
You are encouraged to use your Social Security number as your permanent student identification number because it will be less confusing when transferring to another college or applying for financial aid. If you choose not to use your Social Security number or do not have one, you may obtain a unique matriculation number from the Registrar’s Office. In order to protect the privacy of your Social Security number, the College will assign an alternate identification number. You will use this alternate ID number in conducting most transactions at the College.
