Student ID |
Definition: A number that uniquely identifies a student at an institution.

Social Security rules currently exclude use of numbers that are < 000000100 or >= 800000000
Codes/Notes: If the Student Identification Number is assigned, the number should be used in all future reports by the institution for that student unless corrected or replaced by Social Security Number. Note: Use of an SSN is the only way CCHE can track a student for retention and graduation analyses across institutions.
If an individual's social security number is not available for use by an institution, the institution may report any student identification number up to 9 characters that is unique for that student. The institution also must report the Student Identification Type as “1,” indicating that this number is not a Social Security Number.
