I agree with the person who brought up that this might be due to acceditation. (That and ETS has outright said that they don't like their tests being used as a credit evaluation source.)
I think that the regional accreditors might be tightening things up on them, and of course it can be worth a little more money for the school (Forcing new people to take a class that costs $900 - the new capstone - sucks, but... )
Really, the only thing that I can think is that they're trying to keep things as fluid as possible when it comes to credit acceptance while also fulfilling requirements to keep the accreditors happy.
[SIZE="5"]But if things keep happening like this, EC is going to become as burdensome (and costly) as obtaining a degree from other other major for-profits (Capella, Walden, UoP, so on.) Hopefully this isn't the result of EC taking a page from their books.[/SIZE]
That makes no sense from a business perspective but Excelsior is a school first...business second. hilarious . Since you took the GRE do you consider it as difficult as CLEP's/DSST's? I just don't see why they would single out the GRE all by itself. I hope the people here have the necessary time to get it in if they make this policy change.
