I'll sign a petition. The biggest reason's I went with SL was because of the low cost, go at your own pace, no hassle's or jumping thru hoops to get credit transferred to ACE, and no additional cost to complete the course. Essentially that's why I didn't go with Penn Foster because SL had a more stream line to credit and success, with this change you have additional steps, fees, hardware and software needed to run Proctor U, internet connection speeds, and you have to take time off and schedule a proctor session. If SL could guaranty that credit would transfer to non partner's or would let you select your own proctoring service like a non-profit entity (library, local CC...etc) I would gladly pay additional fees, but paying a for-profit company to watch me take a test, give them access to my computer and show my personal information to some stranger... now that's a no go. How do I know that the people they hire are legit? Do they do a LiveScan or background check?
