Straighterline Retake Policy Change

Got this email today. One of the first changes that I've actually liked.

As of June 19th, 2014 our policy for retaking courses has changed. Effective today,

"If upon completion of a course a student has not achieved a satisfactory score (70% by default as per American Council on Education), a student may retake this course by repurchasing and reattempting it in full. Students must wait a minimum of three (3) business days between attempts. The highest final satisfactory score will be used for the transcript."

Our records indicate that you may be affected by this policy change and we wanted to alert you that your highest completed course attempt which meets our posted grade standards will be used as the score for your transcript when requested (scores will no longer be averaged).

I've been wishing they'd stop changing things but this is actually a welcome development.

Now if they can just back those classes that they lost last month.
