Kelsey Tape's Social Security number and other personal data were stolen 
April 2 from the College of St. Catherine. But until April 16, the college 
didn't tell her and 18 other students that their identities may be at 
risk.

Tape says someone as far away as Texas is using her Social Security number 
to apply for credit cards.

St. Catherine's says it went "beyond what state and federal laws require 
to ensure the safety and security of students' information." Officials 
won't say much more, citing an open police investigation. That's left some 
students and families frustrated as they seek answers to exactly what 
happened and why they weren't notified for two weeks.
