If your Indigenous identity is successfully verified, the University will create a document confirming you have satisfied the identity verification requirement. This document, as well as your documentation, will be securely retained by the University for the duration of your studies or employment and may be used to confirm your eligibility for other material benefits intended for Indigenous persons. If your identity is not successfully verified, the University will create a document noting your verification was unsuccessful and destroy your documentation after 1 year.
