-Social security numbers for international students have been delayed due to change in process
effective August 13, 2013. Students are required to register their local address and the social
security card is sent to student rather than the number being printed on the work permit. This
change will result in payroll delays. Requests to have tuition reassessed will need to be sent to the
Graduate School to process. Please encourage students to come ten days earlier to avoid delays.
-Mark your calendars to attend a personnel specialist training on November 13 th.
