Posting Exam Grades To fully comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, all paper and pencil examinations, assignments, and course grades posted for students will be designated by a token I.D. number. Electronic examination results will be posted by token I.D. or will be posted to the student’s individual ExamSoft portal. Use of these token I.D. numbers will be limited to the posting of grades and online course and instructor evaluations. They will not be used to communicate with individual students, (e.g., to call a student out of a room). Students must not write and bubble in their token I.D. number onto scanned examination answer forms. Instead, they must enter their NSU I.D. number accurately on every paper and pencil examination to ensure confidentiality. If a student forgets his or her token I.D. number, he or she must come to the director of the Certificate in Health Professions Preparation in person and show NSU photo I.D. to re-obtain it. If a student feels that the confidentiality of the token I.D. number has been breached, the student must present, in writing, a valid reason for this concern to the director of the Graduate Certificate in Health Professions Preparation Program before being assigned a new token I.D. number. 9.
