About The Application:
On the “Personal Information” page of the application:
- Put your full legal name on your application (not your nickname) and make sure you typed it correctly.
- IMPORTANT: Include your Social Security Number (all 9 digits without dashes):
Correct format: 123456789
Incorrect format: 123-45-6789
Why do I have to supply my social security number?
- Truman State University is required by the Internal Revenue Service to obtain this number for tax reporting purposes. Your parents will get a statement allowing them to claim this tuition on their income taxes.
- When requesting transcripts at the end of the year, your SSN is used as an identifier so the Registrar can process and send your transcript to you or other universities.
- Your social security number is managed securely through our online application process.
- If you still don’t feel quite right about including your social security number on your application, you can go to this site after you’ve applied and enter your social security number through a separate, secure portal that prevents anyone other than our personnel from being able to connect your social security number to other details on your application.
- Truman State University is fully compliant with best practices for maintaining privacy of consumer data as mandated by federal law.
After you submit your application, a screen will appear acknowledging that it has been submitted. If you are not sure whether or not your application has been submitted correctly please feel free to contact the Institute for Academic Outreach.
