SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

Generally speaking, the Privacy Act of 1974 ( http://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacyact1974.htm ) makes the disclosure of a student’s Social Security Number ("SSN") to the University voluntary.  However, there are federal and state laws that require the University to collect a student’s SSN in order to provide the student with certain services, including but not limited to, employment and student financial aid. Loyola University Chicago secures the student's SSN and uses it only as absolutely required. The SSN is never treated as a part of a student's FERPA defined directory information.

To provide the University with your SSN, or if a correction to your number needs to be made, please do the following:

• Complete and present the Social Security Number Form.
• Appear in person at the HUB, or at the Office of Registration and Records, 820 North Michigan Ave, Ste. 510, Chicago Il 60611. Present your Social Security Card and your Student ID for copies to be made.
