Use of Social Security Number

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires the University to file forms that include information such as amount paid for tuition. Therefore, applicants are required to provide their social security number at the time of application with the University. The social security number will also be used to identify student records, including records for financial aid eligibility and the disbursement and repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the University.

International students are encouraged to apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) or social security number, if eligible. Students must provide this number to the University at time of application for admission or once issued.
