OnlineDegree.com Is Finally Open

[mysonx3]

Ok, so I'm 40% of the way through Astronomy on here and I'm absolutely loving the material, but beyond the aforementioned platform annoyances of having to have the page open for X amount of time (which is usually longer than the time it takes for me to watch the whole video, since I watch most things on double speed), I'm really, really annoyed by the fact that you can't review your incorrect answers on the quizzes. There have been a couple where I was CERTAIN I would get 100% and lo and behold, I got 6/7 and I really would like to know what I missed.

Good news from OD: I was casually chatting with them when they asked what school I'm planning to attend(I told them thomas edison state university):
OD: Wonderful! We're working out a formal articulation with them right now.
ME: THAT'S AWESOME! I was actually going to write you a letter recommending that!
OD: In the works!

I sent a transcript request to Onlinedegree to get my class sent to TESU, I choose the free way. I took the class on August 9th and received notification that I passed. Well today I just received this email from onlinedegree
" We did receive your transcript request, but it's held up since the proctor company that monitored your final hasnt been able to review your performance yet. Normally when students take their final exam with RPNow, the recording is immediately uploaded to their servers for review when you finish the exam. we can review there was no cheating, we can release the transcript. your case though, something happened and it wasn't able to upload correctly (internet could have been down, etc.) I believe they reached out to you to coordinate a time to retrieve the video from your computer. We need to have this before releasing the transcript. Can you reply to them to coordinate. Should be quick, they are able to get the file from your computer."
Does this seem odd to anyone else? RPNow has not reached out to me at all since I took the test.

That is very strange and worrisome.

Maybe they sent you an email but it went to spam?

I searched all of my mailboxes, I might reach out to RPNow directly and see if they know what is going on.

Wow, I've never heard of anything like that happening. Plus, if you took it on August 9th, there is no guarantee that the file would still be on your PC. Doubly so if you've taken any other exams since then. I'd look into that ASAP though, otherwise you'll have to re-take the exam.

@Merlin, I actually offered to retake the final as that seemed easier to me than having someone take a file off my computer. The lady I was talking to said that was not an option. She said that this is a normal practice for RPNow.

Well, the RPnow customer support folks are pretty easy to work with. I'd call in and explain what you were told by Online Degree and see what they say. If they confirm, I'd want to know why you are just now finding out about it. I'd think somebody would have reached out to you when the issue was first discovered.

When I took proctored finals through SDC, I believe it stated that I need to leave the browser open for up to 15 minutes to ensure the file gets uploaded properly. OD provides no such warning. So maybe if you closed out too soon after finishing, it wasn't able to upload the whole file? I wish it would give some kind of confirmation when it was done.
