OnlineDegree.com Is Finally Open

and you can't sit on the couch with your laptop on your lap when you do the exam  
which is stupid

I'm pretty sure you could challenge that since it is technically not disallowed by the standard proctoring rules on RPnow.

Of course, if it is OnlineDegree.com stating that as a requirement, I'd check with them to verify. Heck, you could even state that you don't have a desk, and the only option for test taking is in your living room or kitchen. I suspect they probably don't care as long as the proctoring service is okay with it and no proctoring violations occur while taking the exam.
