In attempts to improve academic integrity StraighterLine will require any course purchased on or after November 1st to use proctoring for each course's final exam. This only affects courses purchased on or after November 1st, 2012. Pricing for the $99 subscription model currently requires a one-time $39 registration fee. It will raise to $49 to accommodate the cost. Pricing models for $399 a la carte and $999 Freshman year will see no pricing changes. CEO Burck Smith wrote a letter with the full announcement and details and can be viewed here: StraighterLine’s New Online Proctoring Policy | Burck Smith's CEO Corner
While we reserve the right to identify cheaters and deal with them accordingly the change is meant more to set a standard for future students. You do not need to worry about us "tagging" you for posting in this forum. Nor are we saying completing lots of courses in a short period of time is going to automatically flag you.
If you're curious why we are posting here, the volume of questions about our upcoming change has prompted the need to directly address your concerns here.

SL FOR SURE has people here who read this forum, I'd re-think posting in this thread.
