EOU Social Security Number Disclosure and Consent Statement
| You are
requested to provide voluntarily your Social Security Number (SSN)

conducting studies for or on behalf of OUS in developing, validating or
administering predictive tests and assessments; administering student
aid programs; improving instruction; internal identification of
students; collection of student debts; or comparing student educational
experiences with subsequent workforce experiences. When conducting
studies OUS will disclose your SSN only in a manner that doesn't permit
personal identification of you by individuals other than representatives
of OUS (or the organization conducting the study for OUS) and only if
the information is destroyed when no longer needed for the purposes for
which the study was conducted. By providing your SSN, you are
consenting to the uses identified above. This request is made
pursuant to ORS 351.070 and 351.085. Provision of your SSN and
consent to its use is not required and, if you choose not to do so, you
will not be denied any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law. You
may revoke your consent for the use of your SSN at any time by writing
to the Director of Admissions.

The returns EOU must file contain information about qualified tuition and related expenses. Privacy Act Notice--Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to give your correct SSN to persons who must file information returns with the IRS to report certain information. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. For more information please refer to IRS code 6050S. |
