Guidelines for offering TREC-approved classroom courses via electronic streaming services:

• Students must be logged in and their identification verified by the proctor before the stated class start time. Check-in for class begins twenty (20) minutes before the stated class start time and ends once the class starts.
• Students must be visible on camera at all times.
• Students may not take phone calls during class. Instructors will provide time for breaks and lunch, if applicable. During these designated times, attendees may take care of personal calls, emails, etc. Attendees should not log out at any time during the class.
• Students may not participate in computer-based work while attending class.
• Students may not step away from the camera for any reason. If an emergency arises, students must use the “chat” feature to privately notify the proctor of their situation.
• Students are responsible for the performance of their own technology, including audio volume, video clarity, and reliable internet connection. All of which are required to successfully “attend” class.
• Students’ cameras must remain stable and unmoved during the course broadcast. Excessive camera movement is distracting and may result in the removal from class at the instructor's discretion.
• Students may not share a room with other students unless permission has been granted in writing from the provider.
• Providers must maintain a recording of the streamed course.
