A spokesman for a community college in southeastern Maryland confirmed Monday that a student with ex-CIA contractor Edward Snowden’s name and birthdate attended the school, Mother Jones reported.

Anne Arundel Community College Spokesman Daniel Baum said that an Edward Snowden attended the college in Arnold, Md. from 1999 to 2001 and again from 2004 to 2005. Baum told Mother Jones that the student did not enroll in any “cyber-related” courses at the college or receive any degree.

The Guardian reported in its profile on the source of the leak about National Security Agency surveillance programs that Snowden “attended a community college in Maryland, studying computing, but never completed the coursework.” The article did not name the college.
