ITEMIZED INSTRUCTIONS
Item 3 SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Item 3 SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Please double check your Social Security number. An incorrect number will delay processing of your application. This number will be
used
solely for the purpose of identification and ensuring accuracy in the processing of this application.
Federal law recognizes the student Social Security number (SSN) as personally identifiable information under the Family Education Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974 (FERPA). However, the law permits Coastal Carolina University to request and use this information in compliance with state and federal
guidelines. You are not required to provide an SSN to be considered for admission, but you are strongly encouraged to do so, if you have one.
Providing an SSN will assist with matching records to your application, such as transcripts and test scores.
NOTE: An SSN is required to apply for financial aid. If you plan to apply for financial aid, you are encouraged to provide your SSN on your admissions
application to assist with financial aid processing later. Providing your accurate Social Security number will also help with citizenship verification.
