Right to a Hearing to Challenge Content
and Conduct of a Hearing
(1) A college shall give a student, on

Student Release of Social Security
Numbers
(1) Community colleges are required to
request that students release their social security numbers for the purposes of
record-keeping and research. The request made to the student shall notify the student
that:
(a) Release of the social security
number is voluntary;
(b) Request for release is made
under the authority of ORS 341.290(17); and
(c) Specific uses will be made
of the social security number. Those specific uses must be described in the notification.
(2) The request to a student
to release his or her social security number shall conform to forms and/or procedures
developed and published by the Commission. Any alteration by a college in the wording
or procedure must be approved by the Director or designee under the authority of
the Commission. The Commission may revise the wording only with a minimum of 90
days' notice to the colleges and only with the input of the colleges.
(3) If a college determines
that it needs to use the social security number for a purpose other than those described
on the disclosure form, the college may add that use its disclosure form. The additional
wording must be approved by the Director or designee before it is added to the disclosure
statement.
(4) Under no circumstances may
a college require a student to release his or her social security number unless
the release is specifically mandated by federal law (as in federal financial aid
law and payroll requirements).
(5) A college may not deny any
student any right, benefit or privilege provided by law because of the student's
refusal to disclose his or her social security account number. However, this provision
does not apply with respect to any disclosure that is mandated by federal law.
(6) If a student refuses to
release his or her social security number, the college may assign an alternative
student identification number. Such a number is personally identifiable information
as defined in OAR 589-004-0100(6) and is governed by disclosure requirements set
forth in OAR 589-004-0450.
(7) A college that extends credit
in the form of student loans or deferred tuition payments may request that the student
voluntarily provide his or her social security number through a disclosure form
separate from the form described in section (2) of this rule. Any such form shall
be approved by the Director or designee prior to implementation.
