Identity Verification
Protecting your identity and student information
Northampton Community College is committed to providing a secure and accurate application process. As part of the application process, you will be asked to verify your identity through Persona, NCC's secure identity verification partner.
Identity verification helps protect your personal information, student record, and financial aid information and ensures that applications are submitted by the individuals they represent.
What you'll need:
An unexpired government-issued photo ID of yourself to confirm your identity.
The process is secure and typically takes only a few minutes. Your application cannot be fully processed until identity verification is successfully completed.
