Southern Online Campus requires that online students verify their identity in one of two ways: 1) Authenticate in person at Southern Adventist University, or 2) Authenticate online with a secure identity verification partner, chosen by Southern Adventist University. If a student does not wish to authenticate on campus, he or she may choose to work with our secure identity verification partner, ProctorU, to authenticate by paying a fee of $10. Once the student has authenticated, he or she does not have to do it again. For complete instructions on identity verification using ProctorU, click here.
Please know that some high stakes exams may require that distance students arrange proctoring through our preferred proctoring partner, ProctorU. For complete instructions on how to set up an account, and to use this service to have an exam proctored, please refer to this document provided by ProctorU.
Sabbath Hours
As Southern Adventist University is a Seventh-day Adventist institution, our online courses and professors have the same dedication to the Sabbath hours as our face-to-face courses and offices. While the course management system remains open during Sabbath hours, the professor and support staff will not be available from sundown on Friday night till sundown on Saturday, and no assignments will be due or expected to be in progress during this time period. In addition please be aware that in online courses students and faculty may be working from varying time zones and Sabbath hour accommodations will differ for each course participant. Your understanding and patience is appreciated.
