ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS

If you are experiencing academic or personal challenges, you can seek support through a variety of campus resources that may be able to assist you. Some of the resources available to you include:

The area of Engagement and Well-Being consists of departments dedicated to helping students navigate through their own challenges to be successful in their curricular and co-curricular activities.

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND STUDENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Students are required to include their correct social security numbers in designated places pursuant to the authority contained in Section 41201, Title 5, California Code of Regulations and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 6109). The University uses the social security number to identify students and their records including identification for purposes of financial aid eligibility and disbursement and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the institution. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the University to file information returns that include the student's social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition, related expenses and interest on educational loans. This information is used by the IRS to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes. The Social Security number also is required by the Franchise Tax Board for collection of past due accounts.

For other records and services, the university uses an assigned campus wide identification number (CWID) as the student's account number. A student's Titan Card number is not his or her identification number.

Students are required to write their student identification numbers (CWID) on personal checks submitted for any payment to the University. Payment by personal check is consent by the student for the University to write the student's identification number on the check if it is not referenced. If a student prefers that their student identification number not be on the check, then the student must submit payment by cashier's check, money order, or when appropriate (other than mail-in or drop-off registration) and cash. Use of the student identification number assures credit to the correct student university account.
