r u i t c y e S N l umber a i c o S In an effort to better serve the Hofstra community, the University has decided to discontinue the use of Social Security numbers for identification purposes. Rather, a randomly generated ID number will be used as the primary identifier for University records. This initiative will help ensure the privacy and security of students, faculty, staff, administration and alumni while allowing the University to maintain current records for this population. All University records including those for alumni, students and employees will be updated, maintained and identified using this number.

The University will convert all Social Security numbers as of January 1, 2003. Current cardholders will receive a redesigned HofstraCard with their new ID number. If you already have an Alumni HofstraCard and are unable to come to campus during the month of January to pick up your new card, it will be mailed to you. If you do not currently possess an Alumni HofstraCard and would like to get one, visit HofstraCard Services in the Student Center after January 13, 2003.
