IDENTITY VERIFICATION POLICY

The identity verification process for online courses protects students’ identities by using a secure portal, with a secure login requiring a unique username/ID and student-selected password. Students’ identities are also verified during a mandatory live online orientation session that must be completed by all new students. These sessions are conducted via Zoom and provide an additional opportunity for staff members tasked with carrying out these orientations to further verify student identities.

IDENTITY VERIFICATION DURING EXAMS

UTH Florida University requires an identity verification process for all online exams conducted through Canvas to uphold academic honesty and confirm that the individual taking the exam is the enrolled student. This process involves facial recognition and verification of an official photo ID. Identity checks are performed at designated points during each exam and are mandatory. Students that do not comply with this requirement will not receive a grade and their test will be considered invalid.
