Statement on the Collection and Use of Social Security Numbers
In accordance with the requirements of Florida law (Section 119.071(5), Florida Statutes), the 海角社区 collects social security numbers only if specifically authorized or mandated by law or if imperative for the performance of the University's duties and responsibilities. The University may collect social security numbers for some or all of the following purposes: identity tracking and management; billing and payments; credit worthiness; data collection, reconciliation and tracking; benefit processing; tax and scholarship reporting; financial aid processing; enrollment reporting, and reporting to authorized state and federal government agencies. Federal and state laws require us to protect social security numbers from disclosure to unauthorized parties. Students and employees are assigned 海角社区identification numbers to assist in tracking and protecting their personal information.
