Notification of Social Security Number Collection and Usage

In compliance with FL Statute 119.071(5), Pensacola State College (PSC) issues this notification regarding the purpose of the collection and use of a Social Security Number (SSN) in relation to the student’s participation in the Educational Talent Search (ETS) Program.

PSC collects Social Security Numbers for use in performance of the College’s and ETS Program duties and responsibilities. To protect the student’s identity, PSC will secure the Social Security Number from unauthorized access. PSC will never release a Social Security Number to unauthorized parties. As an ETS participant, the SSN is used for all associated educational purposes and federal USDOE reporting requirements.

The public-school system in Florida uses the Social Security Number as a student identifier (section 1008.386, F.S.). In a seamless K-12 system, it is beneficial for postsecondary institutions to have access to the same information for purposes of tracking and assisting students in the smooth transition from one education level to the next. All Social Security Numbers are protected by federal regulations and are never released to unauthorized parties.

Financial Aid

A student’s Social Security Number is required for the following financial aid purposes:

The United States Department of Education’s (USDOE) Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) requires all applicants to report their SSN to be used for all federal financial aid programs as a student identifier for processing and reporting. In addition to its use by USDOE as a student identifier, the SSN is required in order for the Department of Homeland Security to investigate citizenship status, for the Federal Work Study Program, and is required on all loan applications for use by the lender/servicer/guarantor. PSC collects a student’s SSN on certain institutional scholarship applications for student files and federal and state audit/reporting purposes. If you are a recipient of a State of Florida grant or scholarship such as the Florida Student Assistance Grant, Florida Work Experience or Bright Futures the State of Florida Department of Education will require the use of the SSN on their grant/scholarship disbursement website and for reporting purposes.
