International students are eligible to apply for a social security number while they are attending school in the United States. Any international student who wishes to work on campus or who will be participating in Curricular Practical Training will need to have a social security number in order to be paid.

After registering for courses at Northeast Community College, international students can begin the process of applying for a social security number. Students must:
1. Complete the Application for a Social Security Card (available at the Social Security Office).
2. Receive a letter from the DSO/International Student Advisor verifying enrollment.
3. Take the application, passport, I-94, visa, letter, and I-20 to the Social Security Office in Norfolk at 208 N. 5th Street.

Please notify the Admissions Office when you receive your social security number so that it can be changed in the student information system.
