City and County Applicant s Signature Date You are required to include your social security number (or taxpayer identification number) on admission application forms to all CSU campuses pursuant to Section 41201, Title 5, Code of California Regulations and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code. CSU campuses use the social security number to identify your student records maintained in your association with the campus and, if needed, to help collect debts owed the university. Your social security number may be written on your application fee check to facilitate the processing of your fee payment. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the university to file information returns that include the student s social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition, related expenses, and interest on educational loans. That information is used to help determine whether you, or a person claiming you as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes. If you do not have a social security number at the time you file the application, you may leave the item blank and the campus will assign a temporary number. However, you are required to obtain a social security number and submit it to the university by the time you begin enrollment. Failure to furnish your correct social security number may result in the imposition of a penalty by the Internal Revenue Service.
