All students including those who enroll in a distance education course at Southern Adventist University for the first time are required to authenticate their identity at the time of initial registration in their first semester at Southern. The student may accomplish this using one of the following options: 1) Authenticate in person at Southern Adventist University or 2) Authenticate online with a secure identity verification partner, chosen by Southern Adventist University. Fees for this authentication are the responsibility of the student.
Students in online classes may also be required to take online examinations using Southern's designated paid proctoring service. Fees for proctoring are the responsibility of the student.
