We are committed to protecting your privacy.
Upon receiving the secure transmission of your Social Security Number (SSN) or International Tax Identification Number (ITIN), it is immediately encrypted. Only the last 4 digits of your SSN or ITIN are available in plaintext for identification and account-matching purposes. Your SSN or ITIN is available for decryption only by those officials who oversee the automated loading of personal information into student information systems, and only for that limited purpose.
Our databases are actively monitored and are firewalled to ensure the protection of your personal information, and we employ all industry-standard safeguards.
