What is the university's policy on requiring students to have Zoom on?

Scheduled Zoom classes are the equivalent of a regular university classroom session. Faculty may require students to attend class (Zoom) sessions, and may give (or withhold) participation credit if participation is listed as a course requirement in the syllabus. If participation is not listed as a course requirement, students are still strongly urged to attend because critical course information may be covered in class.

Are Zoom classes mandatory or are they asynchronous?

This depends on the class. If the class was scheduled as synchronous (a regular meeting at a regular time) the expectation is that students are attending, as Zoom attendance would be similar to attendance at a regular class. Participation credit would be dependent on the class grading policy in the syllabus. Very few classes are truly asynchronous, and they are listed as such in the course schedule.

Do students have to have their camera on?

During class, students are NOT required to have their Zoom video/ webcam on unless the requirement is listed in the course syllabus as a specific requirement for a specific function 鈥� e.g., during a test; for a performance; etc. The CSU Office of General Counsel (OGC) has found that due to student privacy rights, faculty may not require students to have video on just as a matter of course.听 If this is an issue, students should speak to their instructor to work out an accommodation, or speak with the department chair or college Associate Dean.

Are students required to consent to being recorded for Zoom lectures?

For similar privacy reasons, classes may not be recorded without explicit permission from students. Students are NOT required to consent. Again, if this is an issue, students should speak to their instructor to work out an accommodation, or speak with the department chair or college Associate Dean.

Please note that this feature does not meet full accommodation standards, and the Host of the meeting must activate this feature in the meeting for participants to access the Automated Live Transcription.

Follow these steps to activate live captioning for your Zoom meetings and webinars:

1. Before your meeting, navigate to csun.zoom.us in a web browser
2. Select SIGN IN at the top right of the page
3. Log in using your 快活林性息 credentials
4. Select Settings from the navigation menu on the left
5. Scroll down the page until you reach the In Meeting (Advanced) settings
6. Make sure the Closed Captioning is toggle switch is on (blue) and the Enable live transcription box is checked

When you launch your Zoom meeting, before the program begins, select Live Transcript in the toolbar, then select Enable Auto-Transcription.
