CCC ID.me - Identity Verification

As of February 2, 2024, CCCApply will implement an identity verification service called “ID.me.” This service will help protect student identities and prevent fraudulent students from taking spots in classes at Shasta College.

All new applicants and existing students 18 years or older will be able to opt-in or opt-out of ID Verification.

Certain populations of students won’t be able to use ID.me:

  • Those with no valid identity documentation from country of origin
  • Those with no permanent address (housing insecure/unhoused)
  • Those with no internet access or a smartphone
  • Minors

For students that aren’t able to use ID.me, there will be a 24/7 student support provided by ID.me that will allow you to connect via live chat to verify your identity. You will also be able to verify in-person with Admissions and Records at Shasta College. Your verified status will last for one year.

If students choose to not verify their identity, access to financial aid may be limited or delayed moving forward.

The implementation of ID.me identity verification aims to strengthen the security and streamline the admissions process. However, navigating the new ID.me identity verification process may require reaching out for assistance. Below you will find contact information for the following key areas:

If you face technical barriers like device, browser or internet issues, contact:

  • ID.me Help Center offers step-by-step troubleshooting guides on common technical problems.
