The College requires identity verification to protect student data, maintain the integrity of academic work and records, and ensure only authorized individuals access the nonpublic areas on College Premises and services. Identity verification applies to admission and enrollment and to accessing nonpublic areas on College Premises, student records, services, and technology.
Employees must verify a Student’s identity before releasing information or changing information on a Student's institutional record, updating a Student’s account password, changing multi-factor authentication settings, and/or providing a Student ID card. Students must obtain a Student ID card upon enrollment. At any time during a Student’s engagement with the College, the College reserves the right to deny a Student any and/or all of the following if identity verification cannot be made:
- Admission.
- Financial Aid.
- Enrollment.
- System access and/or printing.
- Record access.
- Access to nonpublic areas on College Premises.
- Services, including, but not limited to:
- Shuttles.
- Student Cupboard.
All Students may be required to verify their identity at any time while on campus, during online learning, or while on College Premises. If a Student fails to produce a Student ID card to verify their identity, the Student will be considered a Visitor. If a Student fraudulently uses a Student ID card or misrepresents their identity, it will be considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
