We're sort of old-fashioned -- the account provisioning console that we
give our Help Desk people access to has records for last 4 of SSN and
date of birth. Users have to confirm those before we do anything account
related for them.

In the event that one or both of these are missing, they have to fax
their student ID card to us.
