Do I need my Social Security Number to apply?

  • U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens: Must provide a Social Security Number (SSN) or National Identification Number.
  • International students who are not U.S. citizens: Providing an SSN is optional.
Including your SSN helps UMGC confirm your identity and accurately match your student and financial records.
