CON Online Academic Integrity Policy
To verify that the student who registers in a distance education course or program is the same student who participates in and completes the course or program and receives the credit, 911³Ô¹Ï and the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing use a secure login and passcode system.
911³Ô¹Ï's secure unified username and password system applies not only to distance education students, but to all students at 911³Ô¹Ï. The system deploys single sign-on technologies to grant users access to 911³Ô¹Ï resources. Passwords are known only to the user of the account. The username, known as the 911³Ô¹ÏNet ID, is activated upon the student’s admission to the University and is required to gain access to the systems where academic coursework is completed. The Office of Information Technology Accounts Website details the services, procedures, and policies related to 911³Ô¹ÏNet ID.
Students are required to use the 911³Ô¹ÏNet ID system for registration, for access to eCollege and Blackboard (the two learning management systems used by 911³Ô¹Ï and the College to provide access to distance learning materials), and for access to exams in distance or on-campus programs that allow exams to be taken online. The login and passcode system ensures that all students, including distance learning students, are properly authenticated before using online services and systems.
In addition, individual faculty members may use a variety of additional security options including: proctored exams, restricted IP address where students can access exams, exam-specific passwords, browser lockdowns, random ordering of questions, exam time limits, limiting release of exam questions and/or answers, etc.Ìý
Finally, 911³Ô¹Ï students are required to abide by 911³Ô¹Ï Regulation 4.001, the Code of Academic Integrity. This regulation establishes the University's expectation that students will complete their own exams, and covers procedures followed by faculty in the event of suspected violations of the code.
