What this law does
Under rule of the Ohio Administrative Code, Ohio University verifies student identity across all modalities, in line with federal regulations. Proctored examinations, online or in person, may be used to verify student identity. University-approved technologies are used to verify student identification, and instructors must use approved software, though they can request alternatives in accordance with the university's information security standards.
If a course requires a proctored exam or has associated fees, the university discloses that to students on registration. Methods used to verify student identity must implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect student privacy. The rule took effect . Section 3345.011 of the Revised Code defines a state university as a public institution of higher education that is a body politic and corporate, and recognizes Ohio University as a state university.
