“There's no other reason behind it whatsoever. Anything that the offices will be putting on the computers that will be going out campus-wide should now, for the most part, be having the eight-digit college-wide ID instead of the actual social on there.”
“I'm concerned with my social as well, but I don't have my social floating around papers on campus, either. The more papers you have without your social, the safer you are.”
“If anybody else knows the college-wide ID or has it, they can't do too much. They could possibly log on to the system if they know your PIN and drop and add a bunch of courses, but they couldn't create a credit card.”
“We have no choice. That kind of information is still being used for federal financial aid, etc. There are certain people who use that social because it's linked to a refund or something else.”
“Your social security number is one of your most critical pieces of information that you will have in your entire lifetime. Simply not having that on as many pages or on any pages that are being circulated can make a difference.”
