Verify that you are legitimate by entering a phone number or email address. A code will be sent. Fill this in. and select "verify".
Enter contact information as requested.
For password, make sure and SAVE IT!
NEW: After you have begun to apply, you will be asked to verify your account with ID.me. This will take you away from the site to set it up. When you have completed this process, you will be sent back to your application. There is an option to decline this, but will require a trip to the college in person.

To complete the ID.me application, you generally need the following:
Personal Information:

Proof of Address (if needed):
A document such as a utility bill, lease agreement, or bank statement with your name and current address.

Additional Verification (if needed):
In some cases, ID.me may ask for more documents or proof of your identity if the initial submission does not match or requires further verification.
You have an option to decline, but you will have to return in person to a campus to verify your identity.
If you are having trouble registering, you should email the campus where the class is taught. Here are some of the email addresses for SDCE:
