Electronic enrolment

There are a number of considerations as part of an electronic enrolment process.
Security of electronic enrolment is vital and is the responsibility of each TEO.  This requirement is contained in Rule ENR066[1].

Current standards for encryption are required under Rule ENR071[2]. For a copy of the Digital Certificate and Key User Guide, see the STEO website.

  Rule ENR066: Electronic enrolment - security

  Tertiary education organisations (TEOs) are responsible for security regarding learner electronic enrolments, and must specify appropriate security standards for staff and learners. Electronic signatures are acceptable when processes meet the specified level of security.

   

  Example:

  When using an electronic signature the learner uses an authenticated unique identifier and a password, which the learner must choose.

  ENR071: Electronic enrolment - issuing student identification

  Tertiary education organisations (TEOs) must use current generally accepted standards of encryption for electronic learner enrolment processes.

  The TEO must then apply one or more of the following options for issuing authenticated identification:

  • Authentication in person
  • Postal applications
  • Internet applications.
