Social Security Number Disclosure

In the housing application and assignments process, the Social Security number is used to assist in matching applications for housing with the applicant's official University record. The Social Security number is not a permanent student identifier, and it will not be required for student identification purposes. You will be issued a permanent MSU ID number which will serve as your unique identifier on campus. MSU will not disclose the Social Security number of any applicant to anyone outside the Mississippi IHL system except as allowed by law or with permission from the individual or as approved by MSU legal counsel.
