Statement Regarding Use of Social Security Numbers:
NYU Summer Housing requires all non-NYU applicants with Social Security Numbers to use this number on their initial application, whether applying online or with the printed application form. New York University uses the Social Security Number to generate a unique NYU identification number for each individual resident and/or student. Once the NYU ID number is issued, the Social Security Number is not used again.
