I'm looking for Independent Study courses which can be done completely online, including exams. Do any of the following institutions require sourcing out a local proctor for exams?
- University of Idaho - Brigham Young University - CSU Pueblo - Lousiana State University - American Public University

I took a course from Idaho Independent Study. It required a local proctor.
I don't know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

I don't think American Public University offers independent study courses.

For CSU-Pueblo the answer is....it depends on the course. None of the six courses I took required any form of exam, I chose them in part because of that. Other courses they offer do indeed require exams and proctors, sometimes more than once. They publish a booklet (online) that includes each course syllabus, that should tell you what you need to know...
"Courses which require proctored exams are marked in the catalog with a (hand)symbol. Additional information is provided in the FastFacts Course Guide available on the Schedule of Courses page at http://extendedstudies.colostate-pueblo....tFacts.pdf. " I believe they will allow Proctor U as well, at least if you can demonstrate an inability to find a local proctor.

not sure if this will turn anything up, but you could also google "correspondence courses" which may give you a few leads.

I never had to do this, so I don't know, but is it difficult to find a local proctor for those schools that require one? Does the school help you in any way?

In my area there is a private proctor that I like. I've also used the different colleges (although they charge a lot more).

I believe some of CSU Pueblo's English courses only require you to write a couple essays/papers and have no proctored final.
