Have the following information available as you begin.

• Names and dates (mm/yy) of all high schools and colleges attended
• Permanent resident card (if applicable)

• Note: You are not required to give your SSN. However, we encourage you to include it so that you may more easily apply for financial aid and reset your registration system password if you forget it
