SSN Notice of Disclosure for Student Applications
Voluntary disclosure of your Social Security number (“SSN”) is requested for admission to The University of Texas Arlington and for compliance with federal and state reporting requirements. Failure to provide your SSN for admission may result in delays in processing your application or the University’s inability to match your application with transcripts, test scores, and other materials. Student SSNs are maintained and used by the University for financial aid, internal verification, administrative purposes, and for reports to federal and state agencies as required by law. Federal law requires that you provide your SSN if you are applying for financial aid.
