What is the DSC ID number and what is it used for?
To reduce the risk of identity theft, Dalton State College will cease to use the SSN for identification purposes and has instead adopted a generic DSC ID number. The new DSC ID number is a 9-digit number. To distinguish it from an SSN or any other ID number, the first digit will always be 9. Faculty advisors may register students using this number. All inter-office forms and reports that previously included SSNs for identification purposes will be updated to utilize the DSC ID number.
