Gather Materials Prior to completing the admissions application, it’s important to make sure that you have all the information you’re going to need to complete the application correctly. Make sure that you know your Social Security number, date of birth, and current contact information, such as your address and phone number. For students who have attended another college or university, please ensure that you have the correct dates of attendance and total number of credit hours earned at those institutions. Often this information can be found on a college transcript. |  |  |
