Photo identifications must be an original, current (valid) ID issued by a city/state/federal government agency. o You must use the name on your ID to register to test, and the photo ID must be clearly recognizable as you. o Students who are in the process of changing their name must provide supporting evidence of the name change, such as a marriage certificate or legal name change documentation. • For Assessments that require a webcam to ensure the best experience, o If a webcam is required, your face should be clearly visible. o Position the webcam so your face is centered in the frame the entire time you are signed in and complete your assessment. o Ensure all other computer applications are closed, and if required, anti-virus software is disabled before you begin your assessment. o Do not attempt to block the webcam's view by moving the device, blocking the webcam with a piece of paper or other objects, or sliding the cover over the lens. o Avoid leaving the view of the webcam, using unauthorized materials, moving in an unusual or excessive way, looking away from the screen, or speaking. Cheating hurts everyone. If you see it, report it. If you suspect another tester is attempting to create an unfair advantage or encounter any other attempt to violate the academic integrity policy, you are encouraged to report the activity to Rasmussen University Officials.
