I've done some research on this myself and nowhere does straighterline post any restrictions about what calculator they allow. 
Basically they go off the exam rules for each exam and there are currently no restrictions. 
SDC forces you to use a really terrible calculator

Thanks! That is very useful. I'm considering trying to CLEP Calculus and then going with SL if I can't pass the CLEP.

Yeah JFYI I have taken CLEP Calculus and failed it, the nice thing about straighterline is that there are 6 "exams" the first exam you get unlimited tries, the next 4 exams you get three tries , and the final exam you get one try. 
The midterm is also just the first two exams combined and the final is the last two exams combined. 
I really did not put a ton of effort into this class, the format is really kind and the calculator makes it really a breeze. 
You can basically take the first 5 exams in one day with no reprecussions, if you failed all of those exams you would still get two more tries on each exam to review what you did wrong. I honestly just took exams as a means of studying. 
I finished with a 79 with only a month of studying and honestly I only studied on half of the days in that month. 
Only the last exam is proctored and every exam is open book. 
I don't think I ever used up the entire time in any of the exams, I just did the problems I knew how to do and guessed on everything else. 

I guess you can tell I am biased towards straighterline but your mileage and situation may vary. Smile
