Students are required to submit Social Security numbers with their Federal and state financial aid applications, loan programs forms, scholarship, and veteran certification forms. Upon admittance to Walsh, students will be issued a unique student identification number that will serve as the primary student identifier in maintaining permanent academic records. The student identification number should be used with all transactions such as registration, add/drop, transcript request, certification request, financial transactions, and internal financial aid, scholarship, and veterans’ forms. Since the student identification number is a unique identifier, students should guard its security carefully.
A student who forgets their student identification number can obtain it in several ways: online through the Walsh Student Portal, in person at any location (with picture ID), from the official Program Plan (created upon admission), or by calling the Records and Registration office.
Social Security numbers or student identification numbers are not released to agencies or individuals outside Walsh without the written permission of the student, except as permissible under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
