ProctorU Removal – FAQs for Students
Effective August 28, 2025, at 8:00 AM ET, proctoring services with our long-time partner, ProctorU, will expire.
This means StraighterLine courses will no longer require a proctor for final exams. Below are answers to common questions to help you understand this change.
What if I already scheduled a proctoring session?
Your course no longer requires it. You’re free to complete the exam and finish your course without a proctor.
Will my transcript indicate that a course is proctored if I already took a proctored exam?
No. The “Proctored” column will be removed from all StraighterLine transcripts, even if the course was already completed with a proctored final exam.
Does StraighterLine offer the ability to take courses that are still proctored?
As of right now, StraighterLine does not offer courses with proctoring.
How is StraighterLine continuing to uphold academic standards without proctoring?
Integrity is built into every phase of every course with tools such as:
- Embedded identity verification
- Turnitin originality checks
- Faculty coaching on ethical decision making
