2Social Security Card
All students and scholars who are actively employed on campus need to apply for a
Social Security Card in order to be paid, and also for the purposes of filing taxes at the end of the year.
The Social Security number is used by the U.S. government to identify wage earners for tax purposes.
Therefore, you must be a wage earner or you will generally not be approved for a Social Security
number.
How to apply for a social security card
You must have a job on campus.
Print the Verification of International Student and Scholars’ On Campus Employment for Social
Security Administration form below. (Sodexo employees will need to print the
Verification of On-
Campus Employment (SODEXO)- Application for Social Security Number
form)
Take this form to your employer, who needs to fill it out in BLUE ink.
Once filled out by your employer, bring the form to the Minnock Center for International
Engagement, rm 330 in the Maxwell Library.
An international advisor will review your form and contact you within 2-5 business days.
Once approved you can take the form, as well as your immigration documents (passport, I-20/DS-
