Straighterline New Proctor Policy Change

[ryoder]

I think Straighterline's move to proctored exams is long overdue. TESC uses ProctorU for its exams so why shouldn't Straighterline?
Straighterline's costs are still competitive and I still recommend them as long as there is no CLEP or DSST exam that covers the content or if the student has failed the CLEP test already.
Students should focus more on learning and less on the logistics of proving that learning. ProctorU is a little invasive but we need to get beyond that because a lot of schools use it now.

The cost is not a minimum of 49+99 per course as long as you can complete more than one course in a month. I always recommend that people buy the required textbook prior to enrolling and read through the book. Then pay the fee and begin taking the tests.
I finished three courses in a month this way for a good total cost per test.
