Question for those attending Grad schools online other than WGU.

I've been talking with the University of Illinois about their online MIS and they require you to find a proctor for your testing. I guess my question is that common with most online Grad schools?

Not grad but my BS required proctoring only for math tests. I used my local library and everything was smooth.

Proctoring isn't out of the ordinary, in fact I'd say it's more common than not. A co-worker is doing his MS at Penn State and needs a proctor for exams.

FYI, WGU uses proctors to (PearsonVue, or their own webcam system that replicates the same environment).

Most require proctors. If they don't offer webcam like WGU, you can typically use a library.

How hard is it to get accepted to University of Illinois? Seems like a good program? Affordable? How is your experience so far in applying? What made you want to go there?

I'm guessing the OP is talking about University of Illinois at Springfield. They are one of the earlier leaders in on-line graduate education. You can find more info at degreeinfo.com and geteducated.com
