The Federal Privacy Act of 1974 requires that you be notified that disclosure of your Social Security number is voluntary and is not required to determine admission. Your Social Security number will be used to match your application with your SAT/ACT Test scores and/or Financial Aid information so failure to provide it may affect your eligibility for financial aid and may delay decision of admission. Your Social Security number is also used to report your educational expenses to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to verify and education-related deductions you may claim on your federal income taxes.
