Proposed Change:

Adds two new sections to the academic provisions section of the policy to meet accreditation standards and changes in federal law.
Requires instructors to use an approved method for verifying the identity of online students. Faculty can either use Canvas or choose from one of the following alternatives: (1) one remotely proctored examination using secure proctoring software; (2) one on-campus proctored examination with photo identification; (3) one videoconference or in-person meeting with photo identification verification with submission of a major assignment or exam; or, (4) three or more mandatory on-campus sessions with graded activities throughout the term.
To meet new federal requirements, a new section is added whereby each program must determine the reciprocity details for licensure and certification in states and maintain an annually updated and publicly available list of whether or not the program meets all of the various states’ requirements for licensure or certification. Programs also must affirmatively disclose such information to students who are not physically located in Washington or who notify EWU that they have moved outside of Washington.
