Social Security Application

After you've completed the appropriate hiring paperwork with ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï (click here) you must apply for a Social Security Number. You have 30 days after you start working to apply. Once you receive your Social Security Card in the mail, you must bring it to the Office of Financial Aid & Student Employment at your earliest convenience. If you do not apply or provide the card in a timely manner, your student employment may be terminated.

International students are permitted to continue working until their SSN has been received, so long as they have taken steps to complete the process.

To being the process of applying for a Social Security Number, please read the Social Security Number web page and follow the steps.  After you have the necessary letter from your supervisor, email the supervisor’s letter to the International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) team:  isss@coloradocollege.edu.  The ISSS team will assist you with the Social Security verification letter and with further instructions for applying for the Social Security Number.
