Straighterline online proctoring

[Ivan the Awesome]

So i searched and did not find anything

so i have heard that straighterline now requires proctoring, is there any way to have something proctored online so without going to a college?

Thanks

Here is a link to Straighterline's online proctoring.

Yes, PROCTORU.COM via web cam and mic. My question is with Straighterline you have to give 72 hour notice for proctoring or you will be charged a premium. i.e. if your subscription bills on the 14th and you register for a course on the 12th, the earliest you can complete the course w/proctor final w/o charge is the 15th! Any earlier and you're hit with a $.

My son is taking a test as we speak. It is really not all that bad.

Not to derail, but do the current course fees include the proctored exam? I thought one had to pay an additional 30 dollars.

[AlbaTiVo]

The proctoring fee is included in the course fee.

Isn't the proctoring optional if your college doesn't require it? I thought that was one of the things they said when they were creating the new system, but I've not heard anything lately.

That's the way it worked before. They started requiring proctoring regardless back in November. However, I think a couple of the writing courses don't have tests, therefore, no proctoring.

They basically increased the price of all courses from $39 to $49 to cover the proctoring. Even the courses that don't require it.
