Each student enrolling in one of WorldQuant's online graduate certificate or degree programs must have their identification verified throughout the duration of the program.
When will my identification be verified?
ID verification will take place three (3) times throughout the program. You will be prompted by our system each time it is required. Only upload your ID through this prompted system, never upload your ID to the chatbot or send it via email to a member of our team.
