TALKING POINT 3 OF 8

Student Identity Verification

Verifying identity through passports and matching application email addresses for LMS access was a solid, specific answer — this is a Middle States requirement of affiliation. Keep it ready in that same clear, step-by-step way.

Documented

Why This Matters

Distance-education identity verification is a specific requirement of affiliation under MSCHE, and appears as an exhibit item on both the MSCHE (Standard 2, exhibit II-20) and DEAC (Exhibit 29) accreditation pages already built on this portal.

Portal Evidence Today

New Students — Admission & Onboarding — documents passport verification AND the application-email-to-CampusOS-login match, in identical wording to the SOP
Admission & Acceptance SOP — “official identity verification using the submitted passport” plus the same email-match sentence
MSCHE Accreditation Overview — lists identity verification as Standard 2 exhibit II-20
