Proctored exam with Sophia courses?

I can’t find anything on Sophia’s website about a proctored final exam and transferring the credit to ACE website. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

All Sophia exams utilize biometric proctoring.  They ask you to type a sentence or two and they compare your keystroke data to be sure that the individual who completed the course is the same person taking the exam.

This is nothing like RPNow, ProctorFU, or Software Secure.  No one will ask to view your webcam, take control of or view anything on your computer.  It is completely non-invasive.  You simply complete the course and, when you're ready, take the exam.

Transferring credit to ACE is very fast, simple, and non-invasive.  You create an account on ACENet (there's a one-time $20 fee), then log in, click on "Course Search", then "Organization Name".  Type in "Sophia", and the field will be populated with "Sophia Learning LLC".  Click the red "search" button, and select the course you have completed.  A box containing a description of the course will pop up, and at the bottom will be a "Add to Transcript" button.  Click that, and you will be prompted to enter the date you completed the course.  The easiest way to do that is to select the tiny calendar icon and click on the date.  Once you have the correct date highlighted, click "Submit for Review".  

ACE will confirm the course completion with Sophia.  You can check in a day or so later, you'll see your "Pending Approval" courses and your "Approved" courses in separate sections.  Once you have completed all your courses, ACE will send a free transcript to your college at your request.  You may as well wait until all your ACE-approved courses are confirmed, otherwise, you'll have to pay $15 for additional transcripts.

It's all very straightforward.  That's one of the main things that appealed to me about Sophia.
