Identify Verification

This appointment is for students who need to complete the Financial Aid Identity Verification process. Students may choose to complete the verification either in person or virtually. Virtual appointments must be via Microsoft Teams. Students will need to have their camera turned on and present a valid, government-issued photo ID to verify their identity. Screenshots of the student and their ID will be taken as part of the verification process. For in-person appointments, students must bring a valid, government-issued photo ID.
