Online Proctoring Statement
Students enrolled in courses at Manhattan College may be required to take examinations that utilize video proctoring software. The purpose of video proctoring is to promote academic fairness and maintain academic integrity. Video recordings of proctored testing sessions are only available to the instructor and allow your instructor to monitor your online exam in the same way they would if you were sitting in a classroom taking the exam. Whether proctoring software is used or not is at the discretion of the instructor. If you have questions or concerns about the use of proctoring software for a course, please contact the instructor to discuss this matter before the class begins.
Webcam Policy
In order to promote community, it is important that faculty are able to interact and engage with students. Thus, during synchronous online class activities, students are required to leave their cameras turned on. Students with extenuating circumstances may request an exemption from this requirement to the professor in writing.
Educational Material Copyright Policy
Copyright in educational materials prepared by the College faculty member is owned by the faculty member, and may not be shared without explicit permission. Educational material should be treated as the intellectual property of the faculty member and is not to be shared with others on websites, social media accounts, via email, in private chats, or outside the context of this course.
Students may not make or distribute screen captures, audio/video recordings of, or live stream, any class-related activity, including lectures and presentations, without express prior written consent from the faculty member or an approved accommodation from the Specialized Resource Center (SRC). If you have an accommodation to record class-related activities, those recordings may not be shared with any other person or on any other platform. Failure to follow this policy on recording or distributing class-related materials may subject you to discipline under the Academic Integrity Policy.
