Bottom line, after all the fuss, nothing is gained.
Colleges who don't take ACE evaluated credits are NOT going to take SL credits despite this new proctor policy. It won't matter- this kind of policy won't evaluate SL credits individually, the college will look at their entire ACE policy. So, nothing gained here. Second, colleges that do take ACE evaluated credits already take SL credits. Yawn.
If the college you are attending accepts ACE credit, you're likely somewhere with a generous transfer policy, good CLEP/DSST acceptance, and potential for other credit sources like military/work/ALEKS/PLA. If you're in a position to shop for credits, you may find a reason to pick SL over others, but don't for a second think that SL is the SAME AS CLEP/DSST or transfer credit. They are NOT.
Let's remember, they're just a business, and their credits transfer into VERY FEW places. I know they need students to believe the credits will transfer because that's the question they get asked by potential customers, but I have a feeling this move was to land an account. Let's wait and see who the new partner school is....let's start an office pool. Guesses anyone?
