  • 1.  For Discussion: School Collection of SSNs for Applicants

    Posted 05-16-2023 08:41 AM

    Hello colleagues,

    As reviewed by the PharmCAS Advisory Committee, PharmCAS does not permit schools to collect social security numbers (SSNs) in the application.

    However, most schools need this information for institutional or federal financial aid forms. Given this, many schools collect SSNs outside of the PharmCAS application process, so it is only available in the school system (and not a national database).

    To aid other schools and to hear some best practices, please share how and when your institution collects this information from applicants.

    Thanks!

    Here at Samford, we collect the SSN# as part of the interview registration.  The information goes directly into the SLATE form which can then be uploaded to Banner if/when the applicant is admitted.

    Hello All,
    At University of Maryland we collect SSN's as part of our supplemental application which is an encrypted webpage along with other questions such as technical standards and background check policy. We do bi-monthly exports merging the webform data and PharmCAS data which then gets loaded into Banner.

    Hi Joan,  How are you processing your supplemental data into Banner. We expect our process will no longer work when our Banner implementation moves from on-campus to a cloud-based environment. 

    Thanks!
    Shannon

    We require students to submit a supplementary application.

    At USF, we collect the SSN at the time an applicant deposits with us. We enroll all of our deposited students into a Welcome Canvas course where they submit a variety of our required pre-matriculation items, including notifying us of their SSN. From there we input their SSN into Banner.
