NSU and CDM Distance and Traditional Education Systems and Processes for Securing Student/Resident Identity and Privacy The following systems and processes will be used to secure that the student who registers for a course is the student attending, submitting the required coursework, and receiving academic credit for the course: • The student-management information system, Self-Service Banner (SSB), © 2020 Ellucian Company L.P. and its affiliates. CDM students will use SSB to register online for classes, view grades and transcripts, and pay tuition and fees. For students to access SSB, they must enter an input user ID (N-number) and PIN that is unique for each student. The PIN contains eight alphanumeric characters. • The oversight of the student registration, course attendance, awarding course credits, and auditing student records for degree conferral is under the oversight of the CDM Office for Admissions, Student Affairs, and Services (OASAS) in conjunction with the NSU Office of the University Registrar. OASAS employs Banner reports to secure that students are officially registering, and provides support to students who encounter problems with the online registration process. • A requirement for all university-student transactions, such as course enrollment and access, is the use of the NSU ID card, the SharkCard. An NSU SharkCard is issued when a student first enrolls at NSU. The SharkCard is the official identification card and is valid if—and as long as— the student is enrolled at the university. A photo ID (e.g., license, state ID, passport) must be shown before an NSU SharkCard is issued. The name printed on the NSU SharkCard is the individual’s official name as recorded in the NSU database. The NSU SharkCard card must always be carried and presented and/or surrendered to university officials upon request. All CDM students must wear their NSU SharkCards, which are scanned in many of the predoctoral courses to record students’ daily attendance.
