• No valid identity documentation from country of origin
• No permanent address (housing insecure/homeless)
• No internet access or a smartphone (incarcerated)
• Minors (under the age of 18)

For students that aren’t able to use ID.me, there will be 24/7 student support that will allow you to connect via live chat to verify your identity.

For us to verify your identity, you must provide two documents:

1. One Photo Identification - For example: State identification (ID) card, Driver license, Permanent Resident Card, Passport, or Employment Authorization Document
2. One Identity Document - Employment record (e.g. paystub), address verification (Any bill or financial statement showing your name and residence address), or Official birth certificate (with official translation, if any)

ID.me is the fastest and quickest option to verify your identity, so we highly encourage all students to use this expedited process.

ID.me is an optional requirement for students.

If you’re currently enrolled, these changes will not impact you at this time. They will come into effect if you have a lapse of enrollment over one year and need to reapply.
