Straighterline New Proctor Policy Change

[Ace_King]

Straighterline. First of all, why though? If a partner college doesn't require proctored examinations than why are you (a non-regionally accredited institution) requiring this? It doesn't add up to this "Academic integrity". As many mentioned, this is a purely money making scheme you guys are implementing! You guys are requiring students to pay for a proctor and I believe that colleges make a fortune off students already! If a proctored examination is here to stay, than make us find our own proctor. If it's really about "academic integrity", than sure let us FIND OUR OWN PROCTOR. Look how Penn Foster does it http://www.workforcedevelopment.com/form...e_Form.pdf That is their proctor examination form.

Penn Foster doesn't require us to use a for profit organization to proctor or do they have us pay for a proctor. Penn Foster, originally International Correspondence Schools or ICS, was founded in 1890. 1890!?!? Straighterline? They been out for more than 100 years and they must be doing something right. I took proctored examinations at Penn Foster at my local community college without a hassle and without paying for it. Many students do not want to purchase a new computer for meeting the proctor u requirements. And you keep stating that they don't have control access to your computer. Proctor U uses a similar model of protocol as a software named TeamViewer.

You are blatantly lying to your customers Straighterline. It is sad that, this forum and our sister forum, is where you originally got well known. The Big three. Many customers helped spread the word to other students who loved the self paced format and non proctored examinations because the partner schools they chose didn't require proctored examinations.
