<p>To apply for dining plans, you need a student ID, but I don’t think I have access to it at the moment. Does it come with the housing assignment packet? Please help!!!</p>
<p>If not so, where else can we check our student ID?</p>
<p>Student ID is your Social Security Number. Since the SSN is a sensitive information, that’s why they only ask for the last 4 digits (for verification purposes) in the dining form by putting xxx-xx- format.</p>
<p>Do you know by any chance how it goes for international students, since they dont have SSN?</p>
<p>The letter I received with my housing/roommate had my cmu card ID # (which was also the same number of digits as a SSN) - put that maybe? although im not sure how that would help them.</p>
<p>so the cmu card ID is the student ID?</p>
<p>because my cmu card ID comes up on the SIO</p>

<p>I don’t know how things work these days since I graduated long ago, but, back in my days, we used to get a provisional CMU card ID number until we got our own SSN. SSN application forms and instructions were handed out during international student orientation week.</p>
<p>Why don’t you contact the Office of International Education ? They might be able to assist you. Otherwise, currently enrolled or other newly-admitted international students may give you more up-to-date information.</p>
<p>sang10518 - If you look at the “Medical Insurance Waiver Form”, one of the columns ask for “SSN#, or a 9-digit number starting with 999 or 700”, I supposed they would assign the international student with one of those number, do you have that?</p>
<p>i have something beginning with 999, i guess that would be it. Thanks!</p>
