NC State University implements various measures to verify and protect the identity of students enrolled in distance learning. According to RUL 02.66.04 Student Identification in Distance Learning, students are responsible for providing their complete and true identity which can be verified through the provision of:

• Personally identifying information during the admissions, financial aid, enrollment, and registration processes.
• Government-issued photo identification card to obtain a university-issued student identification card (Student ID).
• Student ID or a government-issued photo ID at on-campus testing centers and for off-campus testing.

 

Other methods of identity verification include: 

• Using a secure login with NC State-assigned username and student generated password with two-factor authentication.
• Administering proctored examinations.

 

Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of all the methods used by the University to verify student identity. To learn more about the verification process, student responsibility, and student privacy refer to RUL 02.66.04 on NC State's Policies, Regulations & Rules website.
