TESU no longer accepts courses based on ACE/NCCRS recommendation alone

[dfrecore]

Shmoop appeared to have recognized the perhaps legitimate issue that not having a proctor caused and added it as a requirement initially. When TESU still refused to accept their courses with or without proctoring, and Shmoop had to deal with the many students who had paid for an 88/month plan that was supposed to allow for college credit without paying additional money to a proctor, maybe Shmoop decided the best option was to try to find middle ground. This seems to of lead to optional proctoring. If I had to guess I would think most are probably foregoing proctoring to save money, not to cheat. Optional proctoring may of been put in place, because ACE did not require it and students didn't want to have to pay it, unless their school required them to. Again, just a guess. 

When you send Shmoop courses over on an ACE transcript, there is no way to know if proctoring was used or not.  So I'm not sure how someone is supposed to prove to a school if the proctoring took place.  Sure, I guess you could send something (an email maybe?).  But that's not very official, and the schools want something from ACE, not some random email or screenshot from Shmoop.
