The College Opportunity and Affordability Act became law last week after being signed by the president. This law has several clauses that may affect online students.

My latest article explains:

"This renewal of the Higher Education Act of 1965 has been controversial due to its new rules for online schools. Most notably, the law requires accredited schools to prove that the person completing the work is the same person who is enrolled in the program. Some complain that this may lead to intrusive student surveillance, such as the use of webcams."

Take a look at the full piece to learn more about the new law and how you may be affected.
