Columbia
University strictly
follows the privacy regulations outlined in the Federal Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, which regulates a wide range of privacy-related activities including management of student records, release of limited
student information, and access and restriction of access.
The Registrar's office provides further information and directions on FERPA; changing directory information; releasing and restricting personal and academic information; and reversing decisions concerning restriction and release of information.
The complete policy is posted in Essential Polices for the Columbia Community.
Reporting a Social Security Number
Columbia
University requires all
students to report their Social Security number at the time of admission. Newly
admitted students who do not have a Social Security number should obtain one
well in advance of their first registration. International students should
consult the International Students and Scholars Office, at 524 Riverside Drive (212-854-3587), for
further information.
All Columbia
students without U.S. Social Security numbers are assigned a nine-digit identification number
by their admissions office to use until they receive a Social Security
number. GSAS students who do not know
this number should contact the GSAS Admissions office. Note: this number is NOT the Columbia ID number, which starts with the letter C.
