Measures to instill academic integrity (as submitted by school)

Academic integrity is primarily ensured through giving each student a unique username and password that they need to use to log into the learning management system. All activity is tracked by this username once they are in the system, so we know exactly which username and account has taken a quiz or submitted an assignment. Our policies and process adhere closely to FERPA regulations when managing student accounts and passwords or giving on student information to ensure that only the registered student is able to modify or reset account into. Quizzes have a variety of security features: limiting students to a single attempt, having timed attempts, students can access the quiz at a specific times and limiting access to the correct answers.
