Applying to MSJC

Identity Verification Required Beginning October 1, 2026

Beginning October 1, 2026, applicants age 18 or older are required to complete identity verification when applying through the California Community Colleges application.

Identity verification is valid for 12 months, as long as your personal information has not changed.

Verification options include:

• ID.me
• California DMV Mobile Wallet

Applicants may also select “Verify Later.” If selected, the application can be completed, but it will not be delivered to MSJC until verification or an approved alternative process is completed.

Under Age 18?

Applicants under age 18 will not be prompted to complete online identity verification.

Need Help?

If you are unable to verify online or do not have the identification needed for the available online options, additional verification options are available.
