This page describes the IDme Verification Status Change data available to colleges via a daily or weekly report or via Superglue delivery.

About IDme Status Change Data

While our current identity verification process strongly encourages students to verify their identity using ID.me at the time they create their OpenCCC account and submit a CCCApply application, it is not required and students still have the option to decline the verification process at the time they submit their application. When this happens a Null value, or no value, is submitted for the three primary IDme data fields with their application data that is passed to the college. These values are sealed with the application data even if the student returns to the IDme verification process at a later date and completes the process or if another status change is made for a different reason (see Understanding Status Changes below).

In order to track these verification status changes over time, colleges are now able to identify a student’s current IDme verification status and when it changed through several new post-submission IDme status change fields via recurring daily or weekly report and/or delivered via Superglue directly to a designated staging table (coming November 2024). This additional data will allow colleges to support students seeking financial aid and other financial assistance.

IDme Verification Status Change Report

The ID.me Verification Status Change Report allows colleges to track student verification changes over time, across single and multiple applications, and/or whether the applicant has made account profile data changes. The IDme Verification Status Change report can be requested in two versions: Full Backfill Report and Weekly Status Changes Report.

  • Backfill Report:  The Backfill Report provides a one-time run of every submitted application that includes an IDme Workflow Status Change indicated since IDme was first implemented (Feb 2024) to the date the report is run for the college. Rows on the report will show all rows where the “Current” workflow status <current_idme_workflow_status> is NOT Null (or blank) from the date IDme was implemented system wide (February 2, 2024) to the date/time the report is run for your college.

  • Daily or Weekly Report:  This report also only provides workflow status changes, configured to run/be run on a recurring schedule.  The report will show all IDme Workflow Status change events where the “current” workflow status <current_idme_workflow_status> is NOT Null (or blank) within 24 hours from the previous report for daily reports or within seven days from the previous weekly report.

IDme Status Change Data via Superglue Delivery: Getting your college IDme Verification Status Change status change data via Superglue delivery is currently under-development . Estimated release with an estimated release in November 2024.

Status Change Data Fields & Values

These fields and values provide the foundation for tracking and understanding IDme Status Change data.

ID Verification Confirmation Timestamp

...

Data Element:

...

idme_confirmation_timestamp

...

Apply API (Glue) Name:

...

idmeConfirmationTimestamp

...

Description:

Values/Response Options:

...

Two possible values:

timestamp value = student has been presented with the ID Verification page in the OpenCCC interface and chooses to proceed with ID.me identity verification. A timestamp is then recorded.

blank/null = the student has made no selection (since not all students will be presented with this page, it cannot/should not be a required piece of information for each account)

...

Storage/Usage:

...

Date/timestamp value is passed to college with application data and stored with student's account data.

Value is not visible to the student on the Edit Profile page.

Validation Check:

...

If student opts-in to verify their identity, then the date/timestamp is set and the student is redirected to ID.me for identity verification; otherwise, no value is set and student continues without verification.

If student chooses to "Verify Later" (link), then no value is set, the Decline Verification modal is displayed, and the student is NOT redirected to ID.me for identity verification.

...

Notes/Constraints:
