Information on Identification Card
As of June, 2005 the university no longer issues identification cards with the social security number as the unique identification number. The legal reasons are quoted as follows:
Act 108 of 2003 House Bill 1034 states:
Section 1: No public or private institution of higher education shall: (1) print a student or employee’s social security number, or any part of the number, on the student’s or employee’s identification card. 2) Make a student’s or employee’s social security number available by reading the magnetic strip or other encoded information on the student’s or employee's identification card.
Act 246 of the regular session House Bill 1106 (Code6-18-208) states:
…no school shall (A) use, display, release, or print a student’s social security number or any part of the number on any report, identification card, identification badge, or any document that will be made available or released to the public…
(B) Make a student’s social security number available by reading the magnetic strip or other encoded information on the student’s identification card.
