To authenticate into UWG learning management system to complete online coursework and assessments all students are assigned and required to use a unique username. All students are required to sign a pledge to honor the UWG Honor Code. Campus wide policies on academic integrity clearly articulate faculty/student responsibilities and are posted on the course management system’s main course listing page. At the program level, instructors use pedagogical strategies such as written assessments and some require proctored exams. Proctored exams may be conducted on the main Carrollton campus and/or at approved testing sites. Conditions of testing may vary by site and course. |
