  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    No, you're not. This is a different person.

  3. Examiner

    Thanks for telling me. What is your Net ID?

  4. Caller

    Yeah, I don't have one.

  5. Examiner

    Then we cannot proceed with the final oral exam, since I can only verify and examine the student whose Net ID matches [DEMO NETID]. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately to resolve scheduling and identity verification.
