Del Mar College uses an applicant's Social Security number as a permanent reference number. An applicant without a Social Security number may either obtain one, or the Office of the Registrar will assign a unique matriculation number upon request.

Social Security Numbers (SSN) are highly confidential and legally protected data. As an alternate to the SSN, Del Mar College has created a unique ID number (Campus Wide ID or CWID) for each member of the campus community. This means SSNs will no longer appear on most online and written communications.
