In an effort to improve identification security, the university will no longer use Social Security numbers for the purpose of identification in most cases.

Starting this summer, the transition from Social Security numbers to new eight-digit University Identification Numbers will begin. Every student, faculty, and staff member will have a new eight-digit number, which will be used in place of the Social Security number.

Any new printing of departmental and university-wide forms should no longer require Social Security numbers. Instead, the new forms should request the user to enter his or her new eight-digit University Identification Number. This practice also applies to any online forms your department currently uses.

If you believe that Social Security numbers need to be required on your forms, you should contact R.J. McGivney at 768.4401 or rmcgivney@hartford.edu.
