VERIFYING YOUR IDENTITY

Verifying Your Identity for ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ

To maintain secure and accurate application and financial aid processes, ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ applicants and current students may be required to confirm their identity through IvyID — ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ’s identity verification system. During this process, students will be asked to provide a valid driver's license or state issued photo ID, as well as a selfie to validate their identity. Please note, passports are not accepted.

  • Students who apply to ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ on or after Monday, June 9, 2025 will complete this step as part of the application process. Once you submit your application for admission, you’ll receive email instructions detailing the steps to verify your identity. Your application to ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ will not move forward until this step is complete.

  • Students who applied before Monday, June 9, 2025, including those currently enrolled, will complete their IvyID verification . If you receive a request to verify your identity and do not complete the process, you will be removed from your classes and will not receive financial aid until ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ can verify your identity. Additionally, you won’t be able to register for classes for future terms until this process is complete

Once your documents are submitted, you will receive a response via email. If you are a new applicant, this will be sent to the email address used in your application. If you are a current student, the message will go to your ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ email. This response may take up to 24 to 48 hours. In some cases, you may be notified that your upload could not be verified. This may be due to one of the following reasons:
