BYU Division of Continuing Education

Social Security numbers are kept private and secure within our division at BYU. We do not include them on any printed material that is sent to anyone outside of our offices.
The security of your Social Security number is very important to us. We use this number as one of the unique identifiers for the information that our computer system has about you. It is kept and used as an internal identifier for those agencies to which we are legally required to report.
Since reports to the U.S. government require the Social Security number for credit registrations, we are not able to register you in credit programs without it.
For the above reasons, we hope you will feel comfortable in providing your Social Security number for registration.
