ID Verification

Identity Verification

Protecting your identity and student information is important to the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District (GCCCD). As part of the admissions process, new and some returning students may be required to complete an identity verification process before registering for classes.

You may be asked to complete this step even if you previously verified your identity when submitting your CCCApply application, including through ID.me or another identity verification method. GCCCD's identity verification is a separate step in the college admissions process and may be required before your application can be fully processed.

Complete Your Identity Verification Promptly

If you are asked to authenticate your identity, please complete the process as soon as possible. You will need to complete the required identity verification before your application is processed.

 

How to Verify Your Identity

There are two available options for verifying your identity, either online or in person.
