Measures to instill academic integrity (as submitted by school)
Students access online assessments through their course in the LMS which records and tracks the time and tool each user accesses. Online exam questions are randomized, meaning not one student will ever receive the same number of questions in an exam. A pledge of honesty is given prior to the start of the exam as well as prior to the submission of any online assignments in the LMS Assignment's tool.
