Photo Verification for Admission Application Has Launched

The VCCS is now requiring photo identity verification for prospective students applying to the College. In order to provide a safe and secure learning environment, admission to VCCS colleges requires that all new applicants verify their identity. Applicants will need access to a computer or mobile device that has a camera in order to provide a real-time photo of themselves (a “liveness check”) and upload a photo ID (driver’s license, passport, ID card, etc.).

A few notes:

• Applicants who already exist in the Student Information System (SIS) are not required to complete the ID Verification Process. These applicants will automatically bypass the verification page 6 of the application.
• Applicants pursuing a dual enrollment program or course are not required to complete the ID Verification Process. These applicants will automatically bypass the verification Page 6 of the application. 
• Students who come on campus and apply in person are not required to complete the ID Verification Process. All NOVA IP addresses are whitelisted.

For support, please contact IDVerify@nvcc.edu.
