Important Message: Identity Authentication Required
Authenticating your identity is important to the colleges of the Los Angeles Community College District (СÀ¶ÊÓƵ). This allows the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ to confirm your identity and helps to prevent identity theft and fraud. As part of the admissions process new and some returning students will be required to complete an identity authentication process before they can enroll in classes.
Identity authentication can be done in one of two ways:
Option 1: Complete authentication utilizing ID.Me when requested by the application system
Further information related to ID.Me can be found at the following website:
Option 2: Real-time/Live Authentication Options
After submitting an application, you must meet with a college employee either in-person or virtually during a brief Zoom or Cranium Café meeting. Failure to provide picture identification when completing the authentication process in a timely manner will limit your ability to register for classes and may impact the awarding of any financial aid. If you do not have a valid identity document, please for assistance.
Government-issued photo Identification Documents accepted:

After authentication is complete, the college staff will update your file to indicate your identity has been verified and you will be able to enroll in classes.
Please allow 2-3 business days for your application to be processed.
Once your application is processed, you will receive an electronic welcome letter with your Student Identification Number and enrollment instructions. If you do not receive an email message with your Student ID, check the spam or junk folder for the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ admission’s email notification.
