They are not proctored by Penn Foster, you need to setup your own proctor. I am using the librarian in my town. She's is there from open til close and it's free. You have them fill out a form and fax it back to PF, PF approves the proctor and mails the final exams.

Most of Penn Foster's CJ courses were reviewed in 2012 which means they aren't due to expire until 2015. I really don't understand why people give PF such a hard time; I've been dealing with Ann Gardner and she has been awesome. As long as you do your homework and check the date on the ACE website before you sign up for the class, you will be fine. But again be sure you get the course approved by your college before you start.

I agree that taking Penn Foster's CJ courses right now isn't risky. It's not that hard to check the approval status on ACE's website. Penn Foster's employees might give out incorrect information, but so does TESC's. While a little annoying, I still got my degree.

Penn Foster is a college, ALEKS is not. Graduate schools will want transcripts from every college attended.

What type of effect will this have at getting into Graduate programs then?

Probably none unless the courses you took at Penn Foster are required prerequisites.
