Add or Change Social Security Number
Overview
Your Social Security Number is required to receive federal financial aid and to be eligible to work on campus. A Social Security Number is also required to receive the tax document 1098-T.
RISD receives SSNs from your admissions application or FAFSA so most students will not need to set their SSN.

If you're a domestic student, Workday likely already has your Social Security Number from your admissions application or FAFSA.
If you're an international student and just obtained a Social Security Number - usually so you can work on campus - you'll need to enter it in Workday.
