Student verification statement
Federal law requires that universities verify the identity of students when course materials and/or course assessment activities are conducted either partially or entirely online. A student’s Desire2Learn (D2L) login and password are intended to provide the student with secure access to course materials and are also intended to help the university meet this federal mandate. Some DSU faculty also require the use of a face-to-face proctor for exams in distance-delivered (Internet) courses and this requirement provides a second level of student identity verification. Students will be responsible for any proctoring fees, if applicable. Finally, an instructor who uses web conferencing technology may require students to use a webcam during exams, as another means of student identity verification through voice and visual recognition.
Please contact the Office of Online Education for any questions regarding licensure certification outside of South Dakota at (605) 256-5049. Due to Colorado's Workers' Compensation Act, DSU students are unable to participate in unpaid internships, clinicals, field experiences, etc. in the state of Colorado.
