While applicants to the College are not required to provide their social security number on their admissions application, please be aware that omitting your social security number could delay the processing of your financial aid file. This is due to the fact that federal financial aid processes use your social security number as a record identifier. Please contact our office if you chose to exclude your social security number on your application for admission to the College.
