Identity Theft Protection Program

The purpose of the Program is to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft in connection with any covered account.

As a best practice and using as a guide the Federal Trade Commission's ("FTC") Red Flags Rule, implementing Section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, The University of North Carolina at Pembroke ("University") developed and approved this Identity Theft Prevention Policy (Program) on August 7, 2009.  The policy is available at http://www.uncp.edu/doit/policies/policy_ch01.html

"Identifying Information" means any name or number that may be used, alone or in conjunction with any other information, to identify a specific person, including, but not limited to:

  1. Name*
  2. Address*
  3. telephone number*
  4. social security number
  5. date of birth
  6. government-issued driver’s license or identification number
  7. alien registration number
  8. government passport number
