Protect Your Personal Information
Many to-do items request documents that may have personal, identifying information on them. To protect your data when submitting documents, please keep the following in mind.
- If documents have social security numbers on them, we cannot accept them through email unless the first five numbers are redacted. Please use the provided links on your to-do items to upload tax documents and W-2s securely into our system. If your to-do item does not have an online link, please bring the document to us in person, mail it, or redact your SSN before attaching it to an email.
- Google Confidential is available through Google accounts for added security. Emails that include information of a personal nature (address, financial information, Social Security number, etc.) are recommended to utilize this feature.
- Please remember to also include your student ID number and name on submitted documents, if it is not included, so we can apply it to your profile appropriately.
- Direct fax services are being discontinued for our office. To securely submit documents to our office, please use an alternate method.
