need help about sevis number!

我是10fall的申请去美国的学生。我在前年做过去美国的交换生，那时交了SEVIS注册费，所以觉得应该也就算注册了SEVIS number. 今天看到有所美国学校的说明上讲，“If you register at another U.S. educational institution, including an English language program, before enrolling in a degree program at UIUC, please notify your department.  We will issue an I-20/DS-2019 with the same SEVIS number as your initial document.” 这么说我是不是应该和department联系下，说明我做过交换生的情况，并且让他们查下我原来的SEVIS number?

感谢能留言帮忙的好心人！
